Replaced both front brake calipers and now can't get proper brake pressure. It's a monsoon out here so she's parked until weather behaves. I also replaced the brake fluid via drawing it out of my Vacuum bleeder that hooks up to by air-compressor and still can not get the brake pressure that I had prior to my Driver side brake caliper freezing up on me. Oh the woes of owning this truck so far! LMAO
Anytime there is a chance of getting air in the brake lines you are supposed to bleed the abs pump by hooking up something like a tech2 scanner and activating the ABS pump... It will pulse and cause the air to move further down the line out of the pumps body and then you bleed it out at the caliper.
If you don't have a computer to perform this task you can do it the "redneck"/"shade tree" mechanic way....
Step 1.Find a dirt or gravel road
Step 2. Drive your truck above 30 MPH.
Step 3. Slam on your brakes so that the ABS pump engages. Do this a few times. Truck must be above 30 MPH.
Step 4. Bleed brakes.
Step 5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 until brake pedal is firm and air stops coming out of calipers upon bleeding.
