Alright guys, as everyone knows I just painted my front brake calipers and rear drums and replaced my rear drum brake pads, now, I have gone through and bled the entire system, the 5 points at the master cylinder and the abs cylinder and other miscellaneous spots that the book directs you to bleed, and then bled from rear passenger to rear driver front passenger and front driver in that order, now, my brakes are still really mushy and I can push the pedal to the floor still, has anyone else experienced this and knows where I should look for the problem, or anyone who just knows what they are talking about enough to help!! please help! I am desperate to get back into my truck again, its been to long with this whole project, I appreciate any help I can get, thanks guys!

 

did you adjust the rear shoes before bleeding? the mushy feeling could be because the wheel cylinders were extending to make up the clearance, ill be honest and say that i have never done drums on a dodge so this is a shot in the dark. Other then that, if the brake pedal felt good before, and you installed the pads and shoes correctly, then i would suggest to re-bleed the system because there is some air still in there

 

yes. start by making sure the rear drums are adjusted. gravity bleed sytem before you pump the pedal (open right rear and wait for fluid to flow by itself, then left rear, right front and then left front...one at a time)
