So Ive had only front brakes for a few months now and just fixed the issue recently. Ran new lines to the rear. Then got new pads and calipers for the front. and then bled all 4. Now the pedal is soft and goes to the floor when the engine is running but if I release and push again it feels like its supposed to. Someone please tell me I don't need to buy more parts lol

 

Sounds like they may need to be power bleed. Turn the truck on and bleed them

 

Thanks I'll give that a try and check back tomorrow

 

if the peddle goes to the floor and you pump it again, and its better, its probably back brakes are not adjusted up tight enough.. after you bleed it again. if it still does it and it wasnt doing it before you put brakes on. you need to check for leaks and then make sure the back brakes are adjusted up. if there out of adjustment they will do what you are saying.

 

I thought about the adjustment as well. Just wasn't sure. Thinking now it makes the most since though. The first pump builds up a little pressure ant the second pump gets the pads onto the drums. And I know there are no leaks. Followed every line muliple times.

 

I think that's what you'll find. I have had that happen a few times on different vehicles. Just make sure the tire still spins by hand without a lot of effort when you get done adjusting them. It's harder to do by taking drums off and adjusting, then putting them back on but you can still do it that way too.

 

So I can't seem to figure out how to adjust these brakes. I've done it before on my old chevy and there was one round rubber plu to remove and then the adjusting wheel was just inside. On my D there's two oval plugs and can't find the adjuster in either of them.

 

Whatd you do to fix it?

 

Havnt gotten it fixed. Can't figure out how to adjust the drums. And havnt had to time to power bleed them

 

there are rubber plugs on the inside(lay under the truck and you can see them with the tires in place) of the drums, just open them up and there is a wheel with teeth in there, you just push it around.

having the right tool for that helps alot but is not 100% necessary
