Hey Dude! I have been watching ALL of your videos for almost 6 months now, you have the best quality installation videos. Your audio and angles as to when your working on your truck is great. I have a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 5.2l V8 with only 94k miles on it and i am now beginning to make it my project. I have no need for any other channels but yours! Your the best man, Reach out to me ide like to send you pohots of my progress.
Awesome video. I am ready and now feel confident to replace the brakes on my 1999 Dodge Ram. Thanks for doing a great job to help others to be successful at doing their own projects. This is one the best videos that I have seen for doing repairs on UA-cam. Many thanks.
I agree with you Michael. Tomorrow I start working on the shoes and drum on my 98 Dodge ram. I can only the imagine the cost of sending this project to a mechanic.
This is the best video I have watched for this repair. I've watched 4 or 5 because only 1 other video talks about the adjustment of the breaks post completion, and it is way more complicated than this. This video goes into more depth than any other video with discussion about the e-brake line and some other details. The one thing I didn't hear him mention is to make sure you're using high temperature grease, or break grease/lube. All of the copper lubricants I have looked at are high temperature.
Hey man your awesome, this exact issue happened on my ram, while on the freeway My brakes went out rip, and I followed this video, and then bled the brakes and BAM working perfectly! Thank you man you are a life saver!
Excellent job, and really good video and audio. I think I'll have to do this later next year, it's been a while since I had a look. I'm glad to see you still have your Ram, despite the high price of fuel in Europe. It's been a while since I've done drums, we don't see them very often any more. For those watching, if you replaced the cylinder don't forget to bleed the lines of air. Cheers!
I've looking for a drum brakes compatible system , because I took everything apart and then I did not know about a certain piece I needed to place it but forgot where it came from, Finally Im watching your video and "alakasam" there it is, In your teaching presentation , Thank you. Good illustration,.👍
Honestly YOU did a Great Job explaining the whole procedure like a BOSS. PLEASE keep them coming. I have subscribed Now I feel confident doing my rear brakes on my 74 Nova. Thanks Yazmin Venice Beach CA 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I replaced the wheel cylinder without disconnecting all of the springs. You can spin the star wheel on the adjuster to the point it takes tension off the ends of the wheel cylinder. Always remember to leave the bolts holding the cylinder while breaking the brake line fitting loose so it stays in place instead of rotating and bending the brake line.
A cool upgrade to the rear drum brakes of ALL 2nd generation Dodge RAMs (1500, 2500 & 3500) is to use GMC dually truck wheel cylinders to give more power to them.
Hey man thanks for this video and I replaced everything like you did. I pumped the brakes and drove around the block it started leaking again. What a headache. I think it may be the (pins) that goes inside cylinder and they keep extending to far out and boot and spring just comes out while everything else is in place as it should. Can you give me your suggestion because the pins are a little worn and could be missing brake shoes guiding slot. Thanks again.
One of the best videos on UA-cam. Whomever invented drum brakes was a dufous who over-thought the problem and created an overly complicated solution. My goodness.
Just did this today for my Mom and Law. Damn you must be pretty herc to throw them on with just a pair of pliers 💪 it’s a big job. Thanks for your step by step on this job. Very helpful and I only hope everyone wears eye protection!! This is serious stuff here
This is a great video. I was looking for a video like this 10 years ago. Video quality, audio quality and shot angles are right on target. Was wondering about the copper antiseize paste. Is it recommended for brake assembly in general?
I have a question tho... I did all this you showed here but and on your other video about putting a new e brake, however on my dashboard it says that my e brake is on and it's not please help me I haven't been able to fix this
You contradicted yourself, you said the brake adjuster goes on to front shoe, then you put it on the back shoe. You also left out hooking up the parking brake!

I love this video.

Great help sir thx much

Hi.Buy two sets of brakes and use the two long pads out of each box. Now you have more stopping power
Great video
How to change your starter in a 02 mustang 6
I have a question tho... I did all this you showed here but and on your other video about putting a new e brake, however on my dashboard it says that my e brake is on and it's not please help me I haven't been able to fix this
Well Done.!!!
Awesome lot of help
What year is this ram
buy a combi-kit don,t re-use old return and hold down springs
Also a good time to replace the drum
Outstanding.
The repair shop was going to charge me $500 to do this.. Thanks!
We only charge pats n labor like 300 the most here in dallas but i am in the hood though
a few lighly tas and the drum comes off right i been beating on mine for 3 hours and it has not even moved
after releasing hand brake first few pedal brake making kiking noise from back of my car?
and get the drums turned
I do most of any repairs to my car...but,for about $150,this is one job,that I take in for someone else to do.
so why did you take the time to watch the video? Let alone comment?
Doubt it. Most shops are gonna charge you 1hrs work per side then over charge you for parts.
The video is very good but the music kills me
You contradicted yourself, you said the brake adjuster goes on to front shoe, then you put it on the back shoe. You also left out hooking up the parking brake!
No
Weeeee
Whole Lotta details left out...
Terrible instructions
All those components are trash.
Great work and instructions!!!
Great video!
