I had an orginal thread about bleeding the brakes here:

https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...d.php?t=233768

I decided to try and bleed the brakes before going through with the RWAl bypass just to see. Sure enough the lines was riddled with tons of air. I am assuming that was due to no fluid in the reservoir.

Now on to the biggie.

I was done bleeding and got in the truck and started it up still on the stands.
I was checking the feel of the brakes and noticed a slight pulse int he brakes while applying them. I looked back and I saw that the rear wheels were rotating forward. I looked back down because I knew I was in NEUTRAL. sure enough I was and then I cycled through the gears and the tires were moving in NEUTRAL.

Is this normal?

 

I think it's normal as there is always a bit of drag in the transmission that will transmit to the rear wheels if there is no resistance to them. I hope this makes sense. At any rate, my truck will do the same.

This is a 5 speed I assume? Not a problem.

 

No this was is an auto tranny. I called around and was told that was normal as the clutches in the tranny have such a small tollerance between them.
