1994 Dodge Ram 94 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 v-8 no ABS

The truck does not have ABS. The reservoir is full of fluid. There are no leaks, everything is dry. I think an air leak would be easy to find by pressing the brake hard and looking for fluid. The air amount is so tiny and followed by a long steady stream of fluid I just don't get it.

I find the truck has RWAL as standard equipment. I pulled the gas tank to confirm the brake lines are clean and dry from the master to the wheel cylinders. I have so far replaced the master cyl. And the RR wheel cyl. To no effect. I had pressure and gravity bled the system. I stopped getting air from the new wheel cyl. And tried bleeding the combination valve lines and the RWAL valve lines with no effect. Then for fun, I bled the LR wheel cyl. And now started getting some air. When my neighbor pumps the pedal, I open the bleeder valve (LR) and get 1/2 inch of air followed by 11 inches of fluid in a plastic tube. Every time he pumps and I open the valve, I get 1/2 inch of air followed by 11 inches of fluid. All the valve lines are tight and dry and there are no dash warning lights.

You say push and I say pump but we are talking about the same thing. You were right earlier about drawing air in upon release of the pedal. Someone told me to wrap teflon tape on the bleeder valve threads and this worked. It is the only explanation for air right at the bleeder every time I opened the valve. Although I do tighten the valve before my neighbor releases the pedal. Tight enough so no fluid exits on his next push/pump. So now I have no apparent air in the system and while the pedal feels pretty good, the brakes still have no power. I thought I purchased a bad master cyl. But the third one does no better. I read a Dodge '94 TSB on bleeding ABS systems. It was really strange! Since I have RWAL I hope none of that applies to me. There must be some trick to this. I am now back to square one. Thanks for your help.
