2000 Dakota Reg Cab 3.9 around January i changed my pads (both sides) and driverside rotor, with oem equivalent from napa. Now, March and February and my driverside brake is smoking, not all the time just some of the time. I have taken the brakes apart twice now and have found no probs, i have read the past posts, but have found no set solution. any of you guys or gals out there no a solution to the problem, thanks for any info or help.

Mine did the same thing about a week ago and I too only noticed the driver side was smoking, I went and touched my chrome rim and burnt my finger the things got so hot, at first I thought I warped the rotors and that would have really made me mad. It only turned out to dust or dirt in the calipers so I changed them out for 200 bucks and now they are fine. Oh yeah dont buy your calipers from Dodge they want like 450 bucks.

I have a 95 dodge dakota magnum nad when i drive the truck, then let off the gas i hear a "bald spot on a tire" sound, but my tires are good. i looked at the brakes quickly but im not to sure if thats it. when i speed up it speeds up a little and i hear it when im breaking as well. my dad thinks its the brake rotor warped, but im not to sure. he also said that it could be the drive axles. im lost.

I have a 99 Dakota and the ABS and Brake light are both on. The pedal was very hard then went away but the lights stay on. Any help with diagnosis as well as how to fix would be appreciated.

i jacked the ass end up and put the truck in drive and let the wheels spin. when i noticed that one tire only was spinning i went to loosen it and all the lug nuts were so loose that the tire could have fallen off the truck at any time. so im going to talk to the place that did my inspection and took off the wheel. But thank you very much.

firemanje2004,,,, your problem sounds like to be the rear wheel ABS sensor for your ABS light to stay on... now if your pedal went hard that could be due to the vacuum power booster going bad, the diaphram could be cracked on a rubber seal and allowing the vacuum to bleed down... the 99 dakotas only have rear wheel ABS so takeing it to a local shop or if you access to a scanner to read the ABS codes from the vehicles ABS computer then go that way to see what the code is
