Brake System Flushing is one of the most important maintenance tasks that you need to do on your car every year. If done correctly, it can help to keep your car running smoothly and protect it from potential damage. Here are the steps you need to take to flush your brake system for a 1500 Ram 2017.
What is the Brake Flush System?
The brake flush system is a feature on some newer model Ram trucks that helps to clean and lubricate the braking system. This system is designed to keep the brakes working properly and to prevent them from becoming dust-covered.
To use the brake flush system, first make sure you have the correct tools and instructions. You will need a Phillips head screwdriver and a bottle of brake fluid. Toflush the brakes, start by unscrewing the right rear wheel cover. Then, pour a bottle of brake fluid into the wheel well, close the cover and screw it back in place.
How to Flush the Brake System on a Ram Truck
If you’re having trouble getting your Ram truck to stop when you want it to, there’s a good chance your brake system is clogged. You can flush the system by following these steps:
1) Park the truck on a level surface.
2) Turn off the engine and all of the lights.
3) Open the door nearest the rear of the truck (the one closest to the back of your cab).
4) Lock the door using the key chain or remote.
5) Lay down on your stomach in front of the open door. The weight of the truck will help push any obstructions out of the brake lines. Be sure to stay clear of moving parts!
6) Hold onto one end of a short piece of metal pipe or a broomstick. Place the other end into one of the brake line openings located below your body. Push and pull on the pipe until it moves freely. If there are still blocks in the line, use a plunger to suction onto them and dislodge them. Repeat this process until all blocks have been cleared from the system.
7) Close and lock all doors before starting the engine.
What to do if the Brake Flush System isn’t Working Properly
If the brake flush system on your Ram isn’t working properly, there are a few things you can do to try and fix the problem. First, you can try to reset the system by pressing and holding the brake pedal for two seconds. If that doesn’t work, you can try flushing the system with fluid.
