Yes, bleeding the brakes removes air bubbles that might be left in the system, especially in the brake lines!
If not done every time the brake system is worked on the brakes will be unreliable and unsafe!

Open brake fluid reservoir for the brakes - make sure it is full of brake fluid - put lid back on reservoir then pump the brakes then hold the brakes on - have someone open the bleed screw on the brakes and let the air and oil out and close it again quickly and repeat until the air bubbles stop in the brake fluid, also checking to make sure you do not run out of brake fluid before you finish bleeding the brakes.

How do you get your back brakes to bleed?
You bleed the rear brakes the same way you bleed the front brakes. If you can't get brake fluid to come out the rear bleeders you may have a faulty master cylinder or the master was allowed to empty out the reservoir that feeds the rear and now it is air bound. Removing the master cylinder and bench bleeding the master may be what you need to do and don't let the reservoir go dry!

Adjust Dodge truck brakes?
adjust isn't really the right word here. if the pedal is soft and the brakes suck, and you have to push it real hard to get any reaction out of the thing, pushing harder may not be the solution. Check the brake fluid reservoir , make sure its full. regardless if it is or not you should bleed the brakes , and you may need new pads. if the brake fluid is real empty you must bleed the brakes.
