I drove from Chicago to Indiana and visit my parents over the holiday.  I had been in Indiana about 2 days, driving down the street coming to one of the worst intersections in town and pushed on the brakes and it was like pushing on a solid rock.

I'd gotten both the ABS and the brake light for about 24 hours before that but I looked on the forums and no one seemed to be very concerned about it. So I didn't think much about it figure I'd fix it when I got home.

While I was stopping and the brakes weren't responding I felt the brakes come back the pedal went down like it should and I was able to stop the truck. 

Can the ABS cause a problem like this? It seems that I have no problems as long as the ABS and brake lights are on but whenever they go off I can feel the pulsation in one of the brakes the funny stuff that you feel when your ABS sensor goes out. The truck is a 2001 Dodge ram diesel club cab long bed.

Thank you.. Gary

  • No vacuum assist on hydroboost. The power steering pump provides the assist. Check you power steering fluid level. Have you checked for trouble codes?
