2006 dodge ram 2500 4x4 diesel replace brake pads front and back

Did you install Dodge Replacement pads or aftermarket? With the size of the rotors and pads on your Ram it is not uncommon for aftermarket pads to have squeal. Did you install and use the anti-squeal material that should have come with the pads?

The rear brake lamp is a whole module. Get the whole unit for left and right no after market one the pins are not always correct

check fuel shut off selenoid at fuel pump
may be week when hot

You need to use a piece of wood and a hammer, To knock the calliper out the way and brake pads will be easy to remove, If they are stuck just wack em out if your replacing them anyway.

I worked on a Dodge car one time and I had a problem with the brakes almost similiar to yours.It turns out a cheap pair of brake pads can mess up your system. I would suggest Bendix pads I also noticed you didn't mention the rear shoes. Any way use better pads it might help.

WHICH ONES FRONT OR BACK ROTORS AND PADS.YOU NEED A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.NEED SOME TOOLS LIKE C - CLAMP AND YOU NEED A 3/8 IN HEX WRENCH OR SOCKET TO REMOVE BRAKE CALIPER BOLTS.REPAIR MANUAL WOULD BE HELPFUL.IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THE JOB WITH PICTURES.

replacing brake pads is pretty simple but because the results of not doing it correctly is pretty severe (can you say accident) I recomend you get a Haynes manual for your vehicle. Generally they can be purchased for approximately $20 at autozone. The basics for replacing brake pads (as opposed to brake shoes) is to losen the brake caliper so it can be moved up off the brake rotor. Then the old pads pop out. Next the brake caliper piston is pushed back into the caliper and the new pads fit in. Now the caliper is placed back over the brake rotor. Again, get the manual.

Remove Tire
On the back ot the caliper ( holds Brake pads) there are two bolt or Screws ( usually allen heads) loosen those screws and remove them. pull off the caliper. check your rotor check for grooves and you might want to take them to get turned ( cleans the surface by taking a thin layer of metal off.

Using a C clamp or Disk brake pad tool carefully and slowly compress the piston back into the caliper....Slowly. Pace ne break pads in caliper and slide it back on to the rotor... replacing the bolts tighten them up...replace tire and you should be good to go. Remember to pump you breaks to get the pads to adjust will be soft at first. there should be no need to bleed the brakes.

If you are looking for the fuse box diagrams or any other diagrams for your Ram, check promanuals.net for a factory service manual for around 20 bucks or so. It's an invaluable tool for my Ram 2500.
