Hi, I think I can make a suggestion to help you get through this. You have 2 separate issues I believe. The low pedal or poor brake performance is due to a basic hydraulic or adjustment issue,air in lines or shoes installed "backwards" . The ABS pulsates, is that only just as you come to a halt ? If so, its gonna be a wheel speed sensor that has its signal dropping out , which the computer sees as a lock up condition. That is why the ABS activates. This is 4 wheel ABS , correct ? You can tell by looking for the sensor wires going to each front wheel. If no sensor wires, then it is only rear wheel ABS. Any way ,on 4 wheel ABS what I would do first is just disconnect one or the other of the front wheel speed sensor connectors up in the fender well. It doesn't matter which side . This will cause the ABS and BRAKE lights to come on, but will also disable the ABS from activating. Now drive it and see what you got. The most likely cause is rust around and under the sensors . What you are doing is just eliminating that pulsing for now so you can fix the basic trouble first. Do you have the rear shoes adjusted correctly? Are the shoes on so the longer shoe is in the rearmost position ? If all that is correct and pedal is still low and spongy , take a needle nose locking pliers and tape the jaw teeth up by wrapping with electrical tape. Now carefully use it to clamp the rear brake hose off, don't damage the hose, just enough to clamp off flow. Now see how the pedal is. Is it now high and tight ? If yes your trouble is air in the rears still or too loose of adjustment. If no change, try clamping each of the fronts, one at a time , without releasing the rear one. If doing this makes the pedal high and tight, you found the problem, air in the calipers. If you get to where all hoses are clamped and its still a bad pedal, its a bad master, air in the master, or air in the ABS hydraulic valve. I would do this testing stuff first, its easy and will help to eliminate some guesswork . The ABS can be fixed after you get the basic system performing correctly. A Dodge like that should have a great pedal feel without much pedal travel .

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
