Did you replace or turn the rotors?

 

Another question: How did you 'bleed' the brakes?

 

I replaced the rotors. The truck has, all replaced in the last few months:

rear drums, shoes, and hardware, and GMC 3500 wheel cylinders.
front rotors, and pads and calipers for a 1996 7500 lb light duty 2500 Ram.

I bled by opening the bleeder screw and having the fiance press on the brake. Closed the screw, and she let off the pedal. Did RR, LR, RF, and LF in that order.

I am going to double check my back brake adjustment. From searching, I should turn the adjuster until the wheel is totally locked up, and then back off until I can turn the wheel with slight drag from the brakes. Is that correct? That's how I've been doing it. How much drag should I have?

 

You probably still have air in there..... Open the bleeder, stick you finger over the end, have fiance pump pedal, fluid pressure will overcome finger pressure easily. (bear in mind, is does spray around though, so, be careful.) Have her pump the pedal at least five times in rapid succession. (when she lets up on the pedal, your finger will keep the bleeder from sucking air.) Do that all the way around. See how much air comes out.

To adjust, I usually just get the rear shoes touching the drum, then step on the pedal a couple times, then finish adjusting. They should just rub. You should hear it, and barely feel it.

 

just drive it for a bit and it will probably start to feel normal again. any air will probably work its way out. when i first replaced all the lines on the ram charger the brakes felt a bit funny at first but they are working good once again.
