1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie SLT, 10 months ago noticed large amounts of brake fluid on both sides of real fender wells and inside of tires, replaced drum brake cylinders and brake shoes on both sides. Just recently, looked under fender wells and noticed splatters of brake fluid again and on insides of rear tires, could it be bad brake drum cylinders or something else casuing the cylinders to go bad?

Some Chrysler ,Jeep and Dodge vehicles have ttye pressure sensors calibrated to the vevicle,so therefore if you change the
tyres to a different type you will need to take your vehicle to a C.J.D.
service department to have the computer of your car re-programmed to accept the new tyres
3 questions for you:
1. What about the tie rods/joint?
2. Did you get an alignment after all that work?
To be honest with use most vibrations occur because of mis-alignments and/or improper wheel balance then anything else.
3. The binding in the brakes: did you use/are you using semi-metalic pads? I have changed to ceramics. I have noticed over the past 2-years that brake jobs using cheap semi-metalics have ended with noise. Also you vehicle is 10-yrs old. Did you extend the caliper bores (cups) fully (rubber dust boots fully showing) out and inspect? Further: when you re-sat the calipers was it easy to do or difficult? Brake hoses fray inside and act like your gateways in your veins. The frays allow fluid to go to the calipers but when the fluid is suppose to be going back towards the master cylinders it slows (and eventually stops), causing "binding". If it was hard to re-seat the calipers (back-in) it is either the caliper or the hose, After having a hard re-seating, push the caliper bores (cups) back out and remove the calipers from the hose lines. Attempt to re-seat the calipers (without the hoses attached) It they re-seat alot easier then it is the hoses.

yah the 12/16 was a lie dodge never got that with there gas 4weel drives the average is right close to 10mpg i have owned dode all my life. and have never gotten over 13mpg with them.
