hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubrication And Mainte-
nance Group of this service manual.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the junction block, the junction block and the brake
tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is required
to prevent contamination from entering the brake
hudraulic system.
(3) Remove the 6 chassis brake tubes (Fig. 129)
from the junction block.
(4) Remove the bolt (Fig. 130) attaching the junc-
tion block mounting braket to the front suspension

assembly is not functioning properly, the fixed pro-
portioning valve must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVE
(1) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of
travel. This will prevent brake fluid from draining
out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are
removed from the proportioning valve.
(2) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubrication And Mainte-
nance Group of this service manual.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the proportioning valve, the proportioning valve and
the brake tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is
required to prevent contamination from entering the
proportioning valve or the brake tubes.
(3) Remove the 4 chassis brake lines from the inlet
and outlet ports of the proportioning valve (Fig. 132).
(4) Remove the bolts (Fig. 133) attaching the pro-
portioning valve bracket to the frame rail of the vehi-
cle. Remove the fixed proportioning valve assembly
from the vehicle.

frame rail of the vehicle. Install the proportioning
valve assembly attaching bolts (Fig. 133). Tighten the
attaching bolts to a torque of 14 N´m (125 in. lbs.).

the inlet and outlet ports of the proportioning valve
assembly. Tighten all 4 line nuts to a torque of 16
N´m (142 in. lbs.).

ensure that all air has been expelled from the
hydraulic system. See Bleeding Brake System in the
Service Adjustments section in this group of the ser-
vice manual for the proper bleeding procedure.
(4) Lower the vehicle to the ground.
(5) Road test the vehicle to verify proper operation
of the vehicles brake system.

The components of the proportioning valve assem-
bly are not serviceable or replaceable. If a component
of the proportioning valve assembly is not function-
ing properly, the proportioning valve must be
replaced as an assembly.
REMOVE
(1) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of
travel. This will prevent brake fluid from draining
out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are
removed from the proportioning valve.(2) Raise vehicle on jackstands or centered on a
hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubrication And Mainte-
nance Group of this service manual.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the proportioning valve, the proportioning valve and
the brake tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is
required to prevent contamination from entering the
proportioning valve or the brake tubes.
(3) Remove the 4 chassis brake tubes from the
inlet and outlet ports of the proportioning valve (Fig.
134).
(4) Remove the 2 bolts (Fig. 135) attaching the
proportioning valve to the proportioning valve
mounting bracket. Remove the proportioning valve
from the mounting bracket.
(5) Remove the hooked end of the proportioning
valve actuator (Fig. 136) from the isolator bushing on
the lever of the height proportioning valve (Fig. 136).

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION (Continued)

INSTALL
(1) Install the hooked end of the actuator on the
proportioning valve lever (Fig. 136).Be sure isola-
tor bushing on lever of proportioning valve
(Fig. 136) is fully seated in hook of actuator.
NOTE: When installing height sensing proportion-
ing valve on mounting bracket be sure proportion-
ing valve shield (Fig. 135) is installed between the
proportioning valve and the mounting bracket.

mounting bracket. Install the proportioning valve
attaching bolts (Fig. 135). Tighten the attaching bolts
to a torque of 23 N´m (200 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the 4 chassis brake lines (Fig. 134) into
the inlet and outlet ports of the proportioning valve.
Tighten all 4 line nuts to a torque of 16 N´m (142 in.
lbs.).
(4) Adjust the proportioning valve actuator. See
Height Sensing Proportioning Valve in the Adjust-
ment Section in this group of the service manual for
the adjustment procedure.
(5) Bleed the brake system thoroughly to ensure
that all air has been expelled from the hydraulic sys-
tem. See Bleeding Brake System in the Service
Adjustments section in this group of the service man-
ual for the proper bleeding procedure.
(6) Lower the vehicle to the ground.
(7) Road test the vehicle to verify proper operation
of the vehicles brake system.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
CAUTION: When installing brake chassis lines or
flex hoses on the vehicle, the correct fasteners
must be used to attach the routing clips or hoses to
the front suspension cradle. The fasteners used toattach components to the front suspension cradle
have an antiÐcorrosion coating due to the suspen-
sion cradle being made of aluminum. Only Mopar
replacement fasteners with the required anti-corro-
sion coating are to be used if a replacement fas-
tener is required when installing a brake chassis
line or flex hose.
Only double wall 4.75mm (3/16 in.) steel tubing
with Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy coating and the correct tube
nuts are to be used for replacement of a hydraulic
brake tube.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with traction control,
the primary and secondary hydraulic tubes between
the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit
are 6 mm (15/64 in.). These tubes are also coated
with the Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy and must be replaced
with tubes having the same anti-corrosion coating.
Be sure that the correct tube nuts are used for the
replacement of these hydraulic brake tubes.
Care should be taken when replacing brake tubing,
to be sure the proper bending and flaring tools and
procedures are used, to avoid kinking. Do not route
the tubes against sharp edges, moving components or
into hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached
with recommended retaining clips.
If the primary or secondary brake tube from the
master cylinder to the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU) or the brake tubes from the HCU to the pro-
portioing valve require replacement,onlythe origi-
nal factory brake line containing the flexible section
can be used as the replacement part. This is required
due to cradle movement while the vehicle is in
motion.
