Someone previously on the forum had the same symptom a while back. The calipers were on the wrong side of the truck, resulting in the caliper bleeder being at the bottom of the caliper instead of the top. Can't get the air out that way.

My answer exactly, all kinds of fluid from the caliper, but an air bubble at the top that will never bleed out.
Personal experience, Wild Turkey and shadetree wrenching do not always go together.
Good luck.

Holy Crap I bet that is it! I am almost positive they are at the the bottom. I bench bled the master yesterday with no results and since the previous owner was a complete idiot I'm willing to bet he did not put them on correctly since he put the rears on wrong as well!

I will check and swap out today!

Thanks for your help I'll keep posted
