Default Brakes got air in them

i've replaced the hydro boost and brakes on my 98.5 24v cummins, and no matter how much i bleed the brakes it still seems like it has air in the system
anyone know how to get these brakes to work well?

Bleeding Brakes don't pump the brakes, it compresses the bubbles in the lines and makes it harder to purge them.

bleed in sequence: right rear, left rear, right front, left front. If the lines/calipers are empty, open the screw and let them fill, then close the bleeder screw. make sure the reservoir fluid level is kept up. then go to the usual bleeding procedure.

98 should be the same, I think.

hope this helps let me know if it does'nt and welcome to diesel bombers a good site and agood place to hang out

If you still have stock brake lines they are ready to be replaced and if your doin brake work change out the bleeders to the new speed bleeders and save yourself the headache.

Speed Bleeder Bleeding Brakes Bleeding Motorcycle Brakes Automotive Bleeder Screw Brake Bleeder

You can get em at any parts shop.
