I dunno? there always a tube on them going into a reservoir of brake fluid, but it doesn't seem like an extraordinary amount!
I wondered if maybe the calipers were "sticky" and not reacting well but I would have thought that after a few cycles a "sticky" caliper would free up?

 

I have never had any luck with a caliper becoming freed up on its own, but they usually stick in the extended position, not the retracted position.

The brake bleeder with a tube into a reservoir is a nice and clean way to bleed the system, but it can sometimes hide a low pressure issue.

 

So what would cause a low pressure issue?
(this is the 3rd master, and this issue has persisted across all of them)
If I put a gauge between the master and the front brake line what pressures am I looking for?

 

Collapsed brake hose, kinked steel brake line, an abundance of crud buildup inside a caliper from years of replacing pads without rebuilding the caliper......Ben

 

What he said.

I just bought a '94 2500 that had little to no brakes due to seized up calipers. Being as cheap as I am, I bought the rebuild kits vs reman units.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic and I try to change mine about every 2 years in all my junk. It has saved me from replacing major braking components.

As far as using a gauge to determine how much pressure you should have is above my pay grade.

 

You been signing legislation in NJ, lately ?

 

Tman, IF I was signing legislation there would be lot of people with a one way ticket to the slammer or a chain gang.

Lucky for the world, I am just a dumb farm kid with an addiction to old Dodge iron.

 

Keep the politics out of the the technical forums please. Take it over to the political forum. I can see how it's no fun when everyone agrees with each other, you need a foil ...Mark
