Product Details

Cardone’s Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics that match original equipment fit and function. For this application, part number 18-B5097 is engineered for the rear right side of the 2004-2006 Dodge Ram 1500 and is cross-referenced to Dodge 5139914AA for the same application. The caliper is pressure-tested, rebuilt with new premium components, and finished to help resist corrosion while maintaining consistent brake performance.

This part number, 18-B5097, is a practical replacement when servicing a Dodge Ram 1500 rear brake corner and needing a caliper assembly with bracket included where applicable. It is a direct-fit remanufactured brake caliper for drivers and technicians looking for a service-ready hydraulic replacement on the rear right side.

Common Brake Issues It May Address

• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or bleeder area
• Uneven rear braking or pulling during stops
• Sticking or seized caliper piston movement
• Corrosion-related brake drag on the rear right corner
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by caliper wear or internal seal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2004-2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with rear right fitment before installation. Use the correct OE-specified brake fluid, and replace fluid from a sealed container. Bleed the system thoroughly after installation to remove air and restore pedal feel. For floating caliper service, use silicone grease on the mounting pins as noted in Cardone’s service guidance. Confirm port thread size M10x1.0 and inspect brake hoses, pads, and rear brake hardware during service.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this caliper to OE-level fit standards and pressure-tests each unit for brake performance consistency. New internal seals and premium replacement components are used during the remanufacturing process, and the process reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
