Master Cylinder
Except Caravan & Town & Country
The cylinder body containing the primary and secondary pistons is made of aluminum. The removable fluid reservoir is made of nylon reinforced with glass fiber. The reservoir is the only serviceable component.
The fluid compartments of the nylon reservoir are interconnected to permit fluid level equalization. The equalization feature does not affect circuit separation in the event of a front or rear brake fault. The reservoir compartments will retain enough fluid to operate the functioning hydraulic circuit.
Caravan & Town & Country

Anti-Lock Brakes -> Full Size Pickup -> Description -> Four Wheel Anti-Lock Brake (4 WABS) System -> RWAL System
Vehicle: 2008 Dodge RAM 1500 ST 4.7 V8 GAS
RWAL System
This system prevents rear wheel lock-up by monitoring wheel speed and altering pressure to the rear wheels. The system uses one sensor mounted on the rear differential to determine if the rear wheels are locking up. This system has a "passive" rear wheel control (meaning rear brake pressure during anti-lock braking is provided by the master cylinder). Rear brake fluid application is controlled according to wheel speed, degree of wheel slip and rate of de...
