Several members on this forum use this brake bleeder: Motive Products 0103 Power Bleeder Fits Late Model Chrysler Vehicles https://a.co/d/8E4lJiD
That's the one I just bought. Saw it mentioned in another thread and thought I always wanted one.
Cars are '22 & '21 but they will need loving soon enough.
Besides, Boy could use it, for now.

Ya that one is made by "Motive Power" amazon $79 Wally world $59. As a tech I also got their universal adapter kit. As it made the unit work on anything. Have had mine for 25 plus years. It is also "air operated" difference is no compressor needed. the handle is the "bicycle" pump to but the fluid under pressure. Amazon (I have found) is almost never cheaper (less expensive) and if it (whatever you order) comes damager or missing parts. The "RETURN NIGHTMARE" begins.
PS a nice place to get QUALITY TOOLS - tooltopia.com
Wow! I'd avoid your Amazon, at all costs.
Glad my Amazon is so easy to return for refund.
Simply drop off at local UPS store and refund is usually credited by the time I get home 10 minutes later.
Many things, mostly under $10 kind of stuff, they just say keep it and refund my money.

Might be how manys ales vs returns kind of thing, Not sure but am darn sure I like my Amazonian Gods.
I give them apittance and they grant me gifst beyond reckoning.

Walmart?
make sure its sold by walmart.
Buy off walmart.com, seems to me, like the item I actually get, came from some crackhead, selling stolen garbage, out of her Dilapidated squat housing , in condemned neighborhood. Return to store, get receipt, then got to wait, wait wait, for a refund and hope you actually get it, before you completely forget about teh thing.

Nope.

From now on. If I buy from Anywhere, I make sure its being sold and delivered by that store.

Pay more at amazon?
Again, I search and rarely find a better deal, from a source I trust.

Personally, being poor, I much prefer to spend my money, once, and buy a quality product, from a known source,
and not bother trying to get the lowest possible price, on 14 continents, spread across 4 planets, in 3 different Galaxy's
and end up with conterfiet or, like above example, some stolen junk, that's been beat to death.
I like my Boxes, nice crisp and new looking.
never been much fro scratch adn dent stuff, but, to each his own.

Sorry your Amazon sucks.

I never could get it to work well without pulling air through the screw.
Trick there for pretty much any brake bleeding other than gravity is to pull the bleeder out of the caliper, wrap the threads in teflon tape and reinsert.

So I spent like a month researching systems last summer and came to the conclusion that speedi bleed is best value for quality and cost

I was impressed when I got mine how easy it was to use and how much air I had in the lines. The build quality is way better than the chinese stuff on amazon and harbor freight.

I have the exact bleeder from HF and it works really well. On my Ram the reservoir opening doesn’t allow the clamp for the gravity feed bottle. That’s ok because you can prop it up without the clamp. Nice thing is this allows you to suck out the fluid in the reservoir and then switch over to connecting to the bleeders. Very fast and no mess setup.

I had bought the HF bleeder when I swapped to Hellcat brakes on my ‘06 Charger. Didn’t work, not enough suction. Bought the Motive, had all 4 bled in 20 minutes.

After bleeding is a good idea to activate the ABS module. I did this by driving on a slick road and slam on the brakes then do one more flush. The easiest way would be to have an analyzer to connect that operates the module to get some fresh fluid thru the ABS.
