georgiapiWe performed the ABS Bleed today. Originally purchased for my Silverado it doesn't open the system, it just cycles the pump. Its recommended to bleed, cycle, bleed. I don't put lost of stock into it because there is no circulation but if you have a soft pedal and everything else checks out it will help.

On the Charger it bleeds the ABS module to the front caliper line using its bleeder which is more like it. I had already bled all four corners until clear and what came out of the ABS module today was pretty dark, confirming a normal bleed does not include the module.
After running enough cycles to get it clean I bled all four corners again.
It takes two people, one has to keep a foot on the pedal and operate the scanner, the other to work the bleeder. We moved 6oz through it before it cleared up.

FYI: I ran volume calculations for brake line capacity and 2oz will fill almost 20ft of 3/16" OD line. When short pumping not quite to the floorboard into a 6oz measuring glass it once it gets to the end of the hose the level raised 1/3oz per pump.

I think I'm done folks. The braking is notably improved, the fade resistance is much more than that. Clearing the ABS fault and doing the module bleed tamed the system down on panic stops.

I'll clean up the BR5 hardware and see if I can recover $50.00. Heck is one wanted to pay I would strip em for the local powder coater here and rebuild them.

Thanks a million to the krautmaster, and the rest, I'll back off now so there should be less wind blowing around here for a while.Attached Thumbnails
