If you changed the master cylinder you have to bleed the abs system to get the air out of it. Best and cheapest place would be the dealer then you know the abs is bled right.

Had the same problem on my 2002 Ram 1500. The technicians at Firestone in Fort Walton Beach Fl traced the problem to the ABS Valve Box. This was replaced and the problem was solved.

I just replaced the abs module and connector due to the connector catching fire. Does anyone know how the pump cylinders are supposed to go?
