Installing Truck Brakes! (First Gen Dodge Ram, Ramcharger) 

Shoot, you left out pretty much ALL the important technical info. For instance, on the front discs... how many bolts cone off? Where are they? What do you do with the caliper while removing rotor? How to decompress caliper? How to live up how pass, etc. etc... Your video is pretty much useless. At least you admitted you had no business doing this work. Turns out you had no business making a video either. Ain't no vintage filter for ineptitude!

There is inner & outer bearing both diff sizes, the inner bearing requires a seal that must be pressed in. & greased exactly as in video

Thank you, I have a 1984 dodge d150 and I can't find any good repair videos but these are great

This video helped me out so much with my truck! I just wanted to say I really appreciate this series and the editing is pretty awesome 😎

Dang basically doing the same thing to my whole brake system to my 87 dodge ram d100 with the slant 6. Was very helpful thank you!

Everytime I come back to these videos thank you so much

, Thanks for posting the repairs videos, I have a 1986 Dodge W150 w/Manuel Trans, 360 engine under the hood. It was given to me by a friend., it had been sitting in the grass for yrs. Pulled it off and it cranked. I love working on it, and have replaced many parts. Working on rear brakes now, just added a 3” left kit. Your videos have help tremendously.

I took have that exact truck and u have taught me to do it on my own instead of relying on others

Thank I have a 1973 dodge d100 and I've try to do but did know how but ur channel help me score for the old dodge best truck I owned

Glad I watched your video. I'm about to do the brakes on my '85 d150 and will be sure to get all new hardware. I could definitely see the calipers and/or master cylinder being bad, especially after the previous owner used it as a farm truck with NO FLUIDS.

Enjoy your videos, I have an 89 le d 150 done lots of work to it, keep it up

Thanks Jason I have a ramcharger 91 and that helps a lot

Great video quality!

Glad to see someone replacing every little piece, after 30 yrs. I believe it is a must. My next project is body bushings, like to see you do it first, :) You and your camera crew are doing a great job. Motor Trend hasn't called yet to give you a TV Show?

1:59 *Installing new Drum brakes by yourself changes things* Disc Brakes are lovely but just thinking about Drum Brakes make me have flashbacks 😭

Fourth video of your I watched. I hope you picked up a copy of the service manual for your year since then; it would cover a lot of items including the one you missed. My 1990 had similar calipers; the new brake pad tabs had to be peened down with a hammer so they would be a tight fit on the caliper else they rattle and knock when in use. Even with the service manual, skimming isn't reading (I skim a lot) and I muffed that the first time! 4WD 8-lug was a PITA compared to yours (which is extremely similar to 1970s Chrysler passenger cars) because the lugs held the rotor to the hub and replacing the rotor ended up requiring a hydraulic press; easy enough to knock the old lugs out but getting the new lugs installed... that was a trial until that trip to harbor freight with a coupon purchased the solution 🤑 Thanks!

awesome is nice ppl still work on their dodges

Thanks so much!

@jason I am SUPER disappointed! you didn't even clean the dust cap! 7:02 anyway, great vid, thanks!

Meeeen i loved thit video , not all people who has one of this trucks do this funny videos! I am from mexico.

How on earth you did that without having to rebuild all of the steel lines is beyond me! Both of mine snapped at the wheel cylinders. Gotta love salt.

I got a 88 D100 with the 318. This is my life, constant brake issues. Lol

Hey Jason... I had same issue with after redoing all brakes even new master cylinder all the student brake booster goes bad and got super hard brakes with no vacuum and little braking power... Did the brake place explain why it screwed with the booster by chance?

i just got a brake hardware kit for the front , where do the black rubber bands go ? (1990 ram)

Sorry to make so many comments. I have gone through all the night mares, as will you and others. Anyway I wanted comment on the front brake pads, those shims they put on them sometimes slide out, half off the pad, so I just take them off, other wise your pad wears at an angle. just keep an eye on it.

Muchísimas gracias 👍

I was thinking master cylinder when I seen that lol I has that problem with my 86 but I only replaced front brakes

I feel like a complete noob asking this BUT you bout the front bearings and seals. During installation you packed it with grease. You inserted something in the back part, then tapped in the seal. Then in the front you said you put the bearing, what did you load in the back? Is there a rear bearing you reused or did you misspeak about outing the bearing in?

😂I have a 79 Dodge RamCharger 4x4, and this was helpful as I needed to replace rear brake cylinders and hardware! But now I'm wondering if I might have to test and replace master cylinder & booster, is something that would leave to a pro though!?

Where can I get those brake retainer clips? Thanks

I have just got this truck we are in England

I got a 82 d150, was wondering if you had the part numbers and whatnot. I’m new to the truck scene and I don’t wanna mess anything up lol

I have a 1988 Dodge D 150 truck where is the inline fuel filter at? I've looked under the truck by the gas tank and cannot find it no where

Could you give an estimate of how much this set you back. I need to do my brakes on my 90 d150 and just want to know how much it'll cost...

You wouldn't happen to have the parts numbers for the inner and outer wheel bearings would you? They look like different sizes.

Never say it'll be easy or not that hard with a old dodge lol after owning 3 of em it seems all I gotta do is say that phrase and it becomes a nightmare thats how a pad slap became calipers that became the caliper hoses that became the hard line

Where did you get all the hardware for this touchup.. how long did it take for you to get your boosters

This is wierd... I bought my truck in June this year. It's the same paint job, and it had the same thermos in it, and my first name is also Jason.

Shouldn'ta said NOT THAT HARD!

need an in depth version of the brake drum re-assembly boss. nice video but lacking a bit of detail

I have a 1986 Dodge D150 4×4 pickup I can't find an after market that makes front rotors for this truck. Any suggestions? Dodge discontinued them in 2004

Hey Jason, Can I get the part number for the front rotors from duralast?

how do you knoe what parts to order for a older car like this?

:-D This is gold.

Where did you purchase all the replacement parts for your drum brakes?

Hi I changed the pads on my 1990 ramcharger, but after changing the caliper clips or metalwork, my brakes sound like a rattle on every small road bump, any suggestions?

You have that same intro song as offtheranch. Lol

I can Honestly say, I have never put any type of lube on those points for the drum brakes, Probably should do that next time, always have done front where brake pads ride

Too bad mines got drums all around lol

Hey sorry where did you get all these parts from

Ah hah, #727 to hit the Thumbs Up !! LOL !!

1 k for brakes… crazy

$1060 omg

Been watching this 4 min now he’s real funny but hasn’t even got the truck jacked up yet

you move too fast on the rear brakes

terribly

You really skip over some of the steps people come here to actually find out, and spend extra time on the most obvious things. For example, at 4:38, you don’t even show where the retaining clips are because if your body isn’t covering the shot, it’s too dark to see.
