Default 202 Dodge Dakota 4X4 Brakes

I recently had my truck in the repair shop and had my brakes inspected
because I was getting a mild pulsing action when the brakes were
applied. The shop pointed out that although the brake shoes on the
rear of the truck had little to no wear the front brakes were shot. I
had to replace the calipers and the rotors along with the pads. On
initially looking at the pads on the front they appeared to have
little to no wear but the brakes had gotten hot enough to warp and
crystalize the rotors and the pads. The repair shop showed me that
the brakes on the rear had not been in contact with the rear brake
drums so the front brakes were all that was stopping the truck. The
auto adjusters were installed incorectly at the factory and had not
move from their original setting. The paint marks that are installed
in the factory were still plainly visable and it was clear that they
had never worked. I suggest that any owner of a Dodge Dakota 4X4
pickup take their truck into a Dodge Dealership if the truck is still
under any warrantee or a reputable brake shop for an inspection before
they get in a jam. Good luck with your truck.
