You aren't running the engine while bleeding, are you? I always bleed with power assist. I'd bleed it again (sorry), and give us the results - hopefully that solves your problem.

If it went down low enough the abs pump may need bleeding. That would be by computer if it is.

How do you bleed the ABS pump, is it the service manual?

No the fluid doesn't drop at all. I re-bled the brakes again last night three more times and it's doing the same thing. I got full panel when the trucks not running. The minute I start the truck the pedal goes to the floor so I'm assuming that it's that either the master cylinder or the power booster.i'm going to replace both of them tomorrow. Hopefully this will fix my problem.

I have a really stupid question. if I put the calipers on backwards and the bleeder screw is on the bottom on both sides could that be trapping air in the system?
