Brake Bleeding a 2005

[Legal Bill]

Hello. I'm a bit confused about what I read and watch concerning brake bleeding. Do I need a OBD code reader with ABS bleeding function to properly bleed the brake system in a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500?

For just the calipers no. It just the only way to bleed the ABS pump if it's needed (like purging/bleeding the whole system). I have found after bleeding the calipers then performing the ABS bleed a couple times it makes the brakes a little more responsive/sensitive.

That's helpful. I have some funky looking brake lines Im thinking about replacing. That may require the reader.
