Disc Brake Question??????? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Last night I tried to bleed my all new brake system. The master cylinder,lines,pads,shoes,calipers are all new. Here is the question, Do you have to bleed the master cylinder somehow? I put brake fluid in and pumped the brakes about 1000 times but the fluid never went into the lines. I tried opening up a couple bleeder valves but the fluid would still not come thru the line?? Does the truck have to be running to get vaccuum to the booster??
Thanks for any help you may be able to give.
