Default Manual correct for brake bleed??

The manual seemed weird starting at the front and working towards the rear of the truck, is it correct?? Also I need to jump pins 3 & 5 on ABS relay 10 to power bleed the module correct? I got mushy brakes, just replaced the reservoir and the 3 amigos have been present since I bought the truck.
Thanks,
M

I always thought it was backward. But just to be sure I did it per the RAVE then redid it starting at the furthest point (RR). I just use a vacuum bleeder. I think (and I may be wrong) that jumping the relay risks damage to your ABS unit.

I just went back to front and no power bleed and no problems.

Jump the ABS relay for only 10-12 seconds then giving it a rest for a couple of minutes at each corner.

Went front to back and back to front to use up the large container of brake fluid. I did bleed with the ABS and a jumper/trigger. I still have alot of pedal travel but I need to mic the rotors, they might be worn a lil' too thin.
