Question 02 2500 4x4 Brake Issues

I recently replaced my front pads on my '02 2500 4x4. I found, after a seemingly easy installation, that my abs light and brake light were on and my power assist on brakes didn't work. I have test drove it and have brakes but they are at the floor. I have bleed them several times and have reset the computer but to no avail. Anyone ran across this problem before or have any insight?

Are you leaking brake fluid? Reservoir full? Sounds like air in the lines, not to be an *** but are you bleeding them properly?

So i found my problem. I re-bleed all 4 brakes with my buddy's gravity feed machine. My best guess was air was trapped up by the master cylinder or the ABS unit.
