I've just got my 1996 Ram 2500 V10 4x2 running again after nearly 3 years off the road.
After an oil change, new spark plugs and some fresh gas the engine started right up and seems to be running sweetly. Unfortunately the same can't be said for the brakes.
The brake pedal feels extremely light (continually, after numerous presses) and even stomping on the pedal doesn't stop the rear wheels from spinning (fortunately the vehicle was on axle stands when I learned the brakes weren't functioning).
Is it possible that the brakes just need bleeding or am I likely facing a bigger problem here? What should my next step be in diagnosing the problem?
For reference my 2500 has barely done 30,000 miles, despite her years.
Thanks.
