Ok thanks. Well drove the durango about 6 miles. Jacked it up, tried to spin the tire. Wouldn't move a bit. Thought about blowing the line out again and checking the wheel sensors. On the driver side frame there's three L shape blocks that the break lines connect to then run to the wheels. Not sure what they are, but I did crack open the lines and fluid dis flow.

while it is not a common issue, brake calipers do seize once in a while and not want to move smoothly, if everything else hasnt worked thats likely the issue, especially if its only one caliper hanging up it is unlikely to be a sticky master cylinder or abs module since that would affect at least an axle pair of brakes.

Blowing out the lines doesn't help. They break down, and collapse internally, and basically become a one-way valve. (soft lines) Replacement is the only real fix for that.

I thought they were replaced already too. They're cheap and probably 15-20 years old at this point. Replace em.
