I have a 01 ram, just replaced everything on the brakes. I think the previous owner let them run dry. I am getting no fluid to the rear after trying to bleed. Can anyone help!
Did you bleed the master cylinder before installing it on the truck? If so, you can typically open the bleeder screws at each wheel to let it gravity bleed. Sometimes takes a bit, but it works for me.
Please tell us more about what brake parts you actually replaced and why..
I just got it, I changed calipers, rotors, pads now in the rear, wheel cylinders, shoes, drums.i didn't touch the master cylinder. The front bled fine now the rear I'm getting nothing. I tried to gravity bleed them, nothing. He ran it dry the previous owner
Grab a friend, park him in the drivers seat. (or her, doesn't matter.) Have friend pump up the brakes, and hold pressure on the pedal. Crack open a FRONT bleeder valve. Do that a couple times, then try bleeding the rears.
