I have the truck listed above 4300. the right front caliper had a leak from the rubber that protects the piston. I took it to a shop and got the right front caliper and front brakes replaced, also the right brake line that connects to the brake caliper. now for some reason the calipers are not getting any fluids when they bled the brakes but the ones in the back are.

Good afternoon,

Do you have ABS?

Is there any air coming out of the bleeder screw?

Did it run out of fluid during the repair?

If you have it at a shop, this is not a difficult issue. They should be able to track it down.

Yes, it does have ABS. No there is no air coming out of the bleeder screw, one thing I forgot the truck was running like that for one day with the leak without me knowing

It could be either a bad master cylinder or air trapped in the ABS unit.
