Default I'm about to give up!

I wrote about 6 weeks ago about the infamous sticking caliper on my 2005 Dak....I replaced the caliper on my driver side.
NOT FIXED
Along with brake pads.
NOT FIXED
Replaced the rotor
NOT FIXED

What else could it be, still have squeaking, extreme brake dust only on the driver side...

PLEASE HELP

Andrew

It takes two people to bleed the bridge well enough unless you have the fancy line bleeder setup Pumpi it up release and repeat until everything feels well

Do you have a trusted mechanic? I don't even bother bleeding my brakes anymore after major brake work, I just have my mechanic do it with his line bleeder.

At this point, it may not hurt to have it at least LOOKED at, if you can't figure it out.

did you make sure to put plenty of silicone grease on the pins that slide? could also be twisted brake line from flipping the caliper while it was off causing fluid pressure to hold on that cylinder.
