NOTE: THIS BULLETIN APPLIES TO 1500 SERIES RAM TRUCKS
> fM PTO M /C O N D m O N : Fi cwrt brake linings wear quicker when compared to the wear experienced on the rear br ake linings. Typically, it is expected that the front brake linings will require replacement a; proximately twice before the rear lining assemblies will need replacem ent Replacing th a front brake linings more frequently would be considered accelerated front lining wear.
D A G N O S IS : 1. Review service history to determine if front brake lining wear has been accelerated. 2. Visually inspect both front and rear brake assemblies for any signs of abnormal wear,
abuse or mis-assembly of components. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual, Group 5, for information regarding service of braking components if the brake assemblies show signs of abnormal wear, abuse or mis-assembly of components If the front brake pads are evenly worn with the rear brake linings indicating light wear, perform the following Repair Procedure.

I OVERVIEW:
Tl lis bulletin involves replacing the front and rear brake linings and the rear wheel cylinders.
MODELS:
15 9 6 -1 9 9 7 (AB) Ram Van/Wagon
,
NOTE:
THIS BULLETIN A PPU ES TO 2500/3500 SERIES VEHICLES EQUIPPED W ITH TH E HEAVY DUTY 9 1/4 REAR AXLE (SALES CODE DRG).
S WPTOM/CONDITION:
i ont brake linings w ear prematurely when compared to the wear experienced on the rear ir ake linings. Normally, it is expected that the front brake livings will require replacement aFproximately twice before the rear lining assemblies will need replacement. The a< celerated wear condition can be identified by requiring the front brake linings to be re olaced three to four times before the rear lining assemblies are replaced.
NOTE:
CORRECT REAR BRAKE ADJUSTM ENT IS A MAJOR FACTOR TO IMPROVE FRONT BRAKE LINING LIFE. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT FREQUENTLY OPERATED IN A REVERSE DIRECTION W ITH AGGRESSIVE AND COM PLETE BRAKE STOPS TO AUTOM ATICALLY ADJUST THE REAR BRAKES,, THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE A MANUAL REAR BRAKE ADJUSTM ENT PERFORMED EACH 8047 KILOMETERS (5,000 MILES) OF VEHICLE,OPERATION. REFER TO THE APPROPRIATE RAM VAN/WAGON SERVICE' MANUAL, GROUP 5, FOR INFORMATION REGARDING REAR BRAKE "ADJUSTM ENT W ITH ADJUSTING TOOL."
DIAGNOSIS:
Review service history to determine if front brake lining wear has been accelerated, typically 3 to 4 times as often as the rear brake linings. :
Raise the vehiclje on a hoist.
:
Remove all four'tire/wheel assemblies and the rear brake drums.
