Alright fellas, just installed new calipers and rotors and brake pads on my diesel. Only problem is, i cant seem to get the brakes bled. When i try the back brakes, i get nice fluid coming out, then i try the front and i get like a milky almost mountain dew looking color coming out of the bleeders and it barely comes out. After a couple tries of bleeding the front brakes it got a litle better where as it would shoot the fluid out, but still a wierd color. So i gave it a shot down the road up and back a few times, and my brakes are grabbing, like the calipers are literally pushing and grinding the pads into my rotors(part of the reason my calipers crapped out on me, they were sticking really bad on the way to work one day and pretty much fried the calipers), Anyone have any thoughts? i believe the truck has 4 wheel abs, i was reading somewhere about the abs valves needing to be opened with a scanner, but i still dont see why you couldnt bleed them without the scanner. Also read to have someone pump the brakes and open the bleeder and just leave it open for about 20 seconds or so since the abs is a slow brake system so it might take a couple seconds to push stuff out, idk.
Please lend me some help!!
