Rear brakes???

I pull the truck in the garage tonight, shut the door and go to back up a little bit and notice that the rear tires are spinning while I have the truck in reverse at idle. So I pull it back outside and try it in forward and it does the same thing, snow outside but the garage was dry. I have noticed that this thing locks up the front wheels real easy when coming to a stop and it doesn't feel like there is any brake in the back, and when hooked to a trailer it's even worse.

That doesn’t sound right, maybe the proportioning is off? Do you have a good dealer you can take it to in your area? I’d think you’d still be under warranty.

Evidentally not, called every one within 100 miles and they all said they are busy and that I should take it back to where I bought it so they can look at it, even after I told them that the place I bought it wasn't a Dodge dealer. I also asked them what they thought of my crappy mileage and if there might be a new flash available? "8-9 is about all your going to get with that in the winter".

Anyone know a "good" dealer in the upper midwest????? The place I bought it can do warranty work on everything but the computer, they are a chrysler dealer but don't have the programming for the Dodge products????

Probably too far for you but I needed some work on my 04 awhile back and was passing through Fargo...wheeled into Corwin expecting to be told they are busy too. The service mgr saw that I was from out of town and needed some work. I waited for 2 hrs and then they had it in, fixed and on the road in less then an hour. It was a fix that was not done correctly by a dealer in Canada. No charge either. I went up to the front and found Drew Corwin...the son and let him know how I was looked after and ended up buying my Mega Cab from them about a year later.

I'll be going through Fargo friday, I'll give them a call and see if by chance any mechanics are going to be around and would have time to look at it.

Thanks
