sometimes I cant get fluid to the rear no matter WHAT I do, especially on a totally empty system. what always works for me is to attach a hose to the bleeder and sink it in a bottle of brake fluid, then pump pump pump and after 4-5 pumps bam, fluid is coming out. on those trucks I NEVER get it with a vacuum bleeder, I have spent a half hour before pulling vacuum on it with no luck.
