Gravity bleed the system first.
Raise the front of the vehicle,remove the cap from the master cylinder and open the right rear bleeder until you get a steady stream of fluid,close that bleeder and move to the left rear and repeat,this will remove 90% of the air,then fill the master cylinder and install the cap and bleed with a helper. do not let the master cylinder run below half full.
Chrysler does not want you to "pump" the pedal, this causes the air to be spread thru the system and makes bleeding more difficult.
Open the bleeder, have your helper push the pedal,when you see fluid come out of the bleeder close it,wait 5 seconds and repeat until all air is removed.
You do not want pedal travel going any further than is necassary.
Constantly pushing the pedal to the floor can damage the seals in the master cylinder
