A diagram for the rear brakes on a 1992 Dodge Dakota are available through stores that sell auto motive parts. These stores are often connected to large databases that store diagrams for many different types of vehicles.
Yes.
In the US, they do not. Requirements for congears to have spring brakes may exist in other countries, however.
They're not just on tractor-trailers - you'll find them on most air brake equipped vehicles. Spring brakes can be described as parking brakes. That's the simple answer. They are brakes which are held down by a spring. When air pressure is introduced into the system, via the service air system, the air pushes against those brakes, forcing the spring to compress, and releasing the brakes. The air pressure must remain constant in order for the spring brakes to remain released.
Only on air brake vehicles.
stuff!!
Easiest would be to do only one side at a time and use the other side to guide you
There are four distinct seasons in South Dakota: Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring.
haynes manuals pick them up at auto parts store If you go to www.autozone.com, on the left side is a section that says "Repair Info". Click here and put in the necessary info, ie year of vehicle, model, etc. They have different diagrams for most parts of a vehicle. They might just have a picture. If that is a no go. then do a search for Dodge Dakota 1992 rear brakes and see what pops up. I find dogpile is better than google as dogpile uses 5-6 different search engines piled into one head. You could always go to your local library and in the reference section, they will have the Chilton Manuals for different years and models of vehicles. Good luck.
With the spring brakes engaged, put the truck into first gear, and let off a little on the clutch. If it pulls, but does not move, your brakes are in working order. If the vehicle moves, there's a deficiency which needs to be corrected.
They have a spring brake system. When the vehicle air up, air is metred to the spring brake chambers. When it reaches 60 psi, sufficient pressure is pushed against the spring to release the spring brakes and allow the vehicle to roll. When this air is removed - either by pulling the tractor protection valve or by a failure of the air system - the springs push back down on the spring brakes and lock into place.
no you do not.
Some do, some don't.
