This Cardone 18-B4899 brake caliper is pressure-tested after remanufacturing and uses new internal components to restore hydraulic function. It is a direct replacement for the front left brake caliper on 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Van and 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Van models, making it a practical choice when the original caliper is sticking, leaking, or no longer delivering even pad contact. This part cross-references Dodge 5102107AA for the same application.

Common Brake Problems It Can Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Uneven pad wear caused by a sticking piston
• Pulling during braking from caliper drag or restricted movement
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel related to caliper hydraulic issues
• Reduced braking response from worn internal seals or piston damage

Installation Notes

Verify the inlet and bleeder port sizes before installation: both are M10x1.0. Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container. If the vehicle uses floating caliper pins, apply silicone grease to the mounting pins as recommended. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation and confirm there are no leaks at the banjo, bleeder, or inlet connections.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured caliper is pressure-tested and assembled with new premium components to support consistent brake performance. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
