The right front brake had some kind of issue and the rotor was getting a couple of grooves dug in it so today I decided to replace the calipers, rotors and brake pads up front.

I put all of the stuff on and now I can't get any brake pressure. I bled the brakes just like every other car I have ever done and had no problems with.

Right rear
Left Rear
Front Right
Front Left

No pressure.

Did it again, and a again and still nothing.

When I pump the brakes with the truck off, it builds pressure after a few pumps but with the engine running the pedal never gets stiff.

WTF is going on with this truck now?

 

Bad master cylinder perhaps. or no brake fluid

 

not to be a smart *** but it has happened you have the calipers on right side up bleeder at the top correct to help we gotta cover all the bases

 

Hmmm. Perhaps not. Did not even realize they could go on upside down. The bleed should be higher than where the brake line goes in?

 

yes it has happened b4 air goes up remember

 

Lol yep. I hope this is it.

 

If every thing looks good keep trying to bleed em.

I've seen a simple system such as that on the front of a motorcycle ie master cylinder, three feet of hose and one caliper take for ever to get bleed properly. It looks like it's bleed properly but isn't. It can be tough to get all the air out of a caliper.

 

Will do. Waiting til morning as it's cold, dark, and I don't have anyone to pump the brakes.

 

Yep, the calipers were upside down! Never even knew that was possible.
