Need Help bleeding brakes
So I get in patches today(yellow 2000 dodge ram 1500) and the break pedal goes to the floor, it still holds pressure near the very bottom so I can still stop, but there is defiantly air in the lines somehow. If someone is willing to help me bleed the brakes that would be much appreciated. Also, my truck now has an awful squeak, I'm pretty sure I just need to wash and grease it but I don't have any grease and if someone had any that I could use I'd be willing to give you a few bucks.
Can conquer anything in my path with my yellow turd. My truck doesn't burn oil it burns transfer cases at mile marker 187. My truck doesn't get dented it simply molds to it environment becoming faster and more agile. Patches is made from fence posts that were used to keep in the monsters from hell. Patches doesn't have horsepower, it has god power. Patches doesn't drive over rocks, it forces them beneath it because it is superior.

How are the brakes after last night? There was definitely air in the lines and dirty fluid.

Re: Need Help bleeding brakes
The breaks are great but the really bad squeak is back. It's coming from the transfer case. I greased it and even topped off the ATF but the squeak just keeps getting worse.

Re: Need Help bleeding brakes
Somehow there is a leak or something in my brake system because once again my breaks need to be bled. I have no clue what is causing it. the last two times my brakes were bled most of the air has been coming out of the passenger side drum brake in the rear. After we bled it last time it was golding really firm but the net day and the day after it would get spongier and spongier.

Re: Need Help bleeding brakes

Re: Need Help bleeding brakes
im not sure about wheel cylinders but with most things if one going bad the other isn't far behind if its a cheap part and your doing the job mine as well do both at the same time. That way you only have to bleed your brakes once as well.
