The Dodge Ram 1500 utilizes a 3/8" Allen bolt for its caliper mounting. To adjust caliper brakes, utilize the barrel adjuster located near each lever. If the brakes feel too soft even after adjusting the barrel, tighten the cable. To address brake rubbing issues, ensure the brake is centered - if it's loose, squeeze the lever to center it and then tighten the mounting bolt on the frame. A loose caliper can cause clicking sounds from that wheel while flopping around. Each brake is equipped with a backing plate attached to its rear. Brake caliper bolt failures are a significant reason for brake system malfunctions, often attributed to human error.
