[1995 ram]

hey guy im new and i have some problems with my brakes. i have replaced all the rubber brake lines and the calipers. now i have no bake pedal pressure when the truck is started. i have bleed all the lines after replacing every thing. im lost in what it could be

Have you touched the master cylinder? Bled it? Replaced it?

OK dont take any of these questions personally....your initial post is a little vague.

Do you know how to bleed brakes properly? ( again dont be offended...youd be surprised )
Have you checked the calipers for leaks and proper function?
Have you checked the master cylinder for leaks and proper opertion?

none taken i know a lot of people that think they know how to but dont and i have had three people look over it for leaks but they or my self have not found any. i have not looked at the master cylinder.

are you sure you got all the air out of the lines and kept the reservoir topped up? most times i usually gravity bleed things as i am going and usually end up with a nearly full pedal without any work.
