I did bled brakes on 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport. I have NO problem with it because it have ABS braking system. I replaced calipers, brakes pads and shoes. Then bleed the brake with engine shut off. I asked my wife to press pedal real hard and I loosened the bleeder a bit to let air out and shut it off. I asked her pump few times and press hard and stay there. I did repeat application on each brakes. After that I test drove van and brake was firm and stop short. I can feel ABS pumping when I slammed the brake. It was excellent. A month later, Driver who drove 2003 Chevrolet Alvanche decided to clip me while I was driving van passing through green light. I slammed the brake and it slid because it was chilly and dew in the evening of November and crashed into rear wheel cowl of Alvanche, sent truck spin 180 degree. My van was totalled. I was pissed BIG time because I had all brake replaced and planning to keep van until engine give out. Guy's insurance paid me $8K and I bought 2005 Dodge Durango.
