Front Calipers Changed brakes not pumping up
 

Hello All
I am newly registered but have been lurking from time to time.
I am hoping someone can help me. I have an 04 Ram 1500 SLT Quadcab 5.7 Hemi and I tow a camper in the summer time, This year I decided this to replace my front brakes, rotors and calipers. I have done many brakes on many different vehicles throughout the years and I cannot figure out for the life of me why my brakes wont pump up. I have read on various forums about not having the key in the ignition and doors closed because of abs (I have 2 wheel abs) still being charged, to pinching the rubber lines to isolate where the problem could be. I do not have leaks I have bled and re-bled about 5 times. I dont believe its the master cylinder because I have a pedal until I turn the truck on. The brakes were working fine prior the pads needed to be replaced. I noticed some tears on the rubber around the caliper pistons and decided to change them.
Any one have any ideas or have come across this problem before? I dont understand why the pedal goes to the floor.
Thanks

Mike

Did you bleed the rears as well?

Yes. The only thing I didnt do was the abs block

Shouldn't have to.... Is the brake lite in the dash on?

No it is not

Weird..... Does it come on with engine running, and pedal sinking to the floor?

No. The pedal stays up even when its started. When I push the pedal itll go to the floor easily

Hhhhhmmmm....... last time I had that problem, I still had a leak in one of the brake lines.

Got a friend that can help bleed them one more time? Try pumping up the pressure in the lines first, holding the pedal, and then cracking open the bleeder valve. That tends to shock any remaining air loose. (close the valve again before letting up on the pedal.) See if that makes any difference.

I bled them again last night I noticed passenger side had a small leak. Just enough i believe to de-pressurize after 10 sec. I am going to get new copper washers and take them apart again. The pads shouldnt be hung up all brand new parts all the way to the pad shims.

You reused the crush washers? Smh...
