i have a 99 Ram 1500 4X4 5.9 with drum brakes on the rear. My brakes were not working well, real mushy, so i bled the brakes, went fine for the front rotors, but when bleeding the back brakes, I barley got a drop or two of fluid to come out of the wheel cylinders. I replaced the mater cylinder, bled it and the brakes, they are firm now, but still not fluid to the rear brakes. Also replaced the rear brake hose as i thought maybe it collapsed inside, but i am not getting fluid that far back, the metal line that supplies brake fluid to the rear hose it dry. Any ideas where the stoppage could be? Can I disconnect the line at the master cylinder and at the rear brake hose and blow air through there without messing anything up?
I assume truck is equipped with ABS, is this something i can test there?
Also, one new wheel cylinder and brand new brakes on the rear
