Default No Brakes

Dodge 2500 2004.5 5.9 4x4, New pads on front, replaced brake booster, replaced master cylinder, bled lines, no brakes pedal goes to floor, have good steering so steering pump works. Prior shifter sticking in park, pushed on brakes, heard pop and that's when the pedal went to the floor, did the above replacements since this happened. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Either you still have air in the system...you have a fluid leak or there is a malfunction with your new booster or master cylinder.

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder before you installed it? If not, you still have air in the system.

Air or leaks = low or spongy brake pedal

Vacuum leak or bad booster = hard pedal
