The truck set for a while during restoration. Back driving it and noticed the brakes arent what they used to be. Feels like very little or no rear brakes. New shoes and wheels cylinders a few years ago. Adjustment seems ok. Front rotors are now warped. Very spongy pedal. Very little resistance till half way down. Tried bleeding and the fronts bled great. Started bleeding at the anti-lock block in the rear because I could hear obvious air in the line when the pedal was pumped. Got a lot of air out of it. No visible leaks. Pedal felt better for a minute or so then back down to halfway before resistance. Pump the pedal 4 good times and the air is gone and brakes are good. Driving i can pump the pedal 4 good times and the brakes grab noticably harder and alot more feel from the rear brakes. My first thought was the booster or internal master cylinder failure. But then remember another dodge guy telling me about definite master cylinder issues with these trucks. Also thought about eliminating the anti-lock as it doesnt function. So what are your guys thoughts.
