Hey guys... just wanted to provide an update to you all. THANKS SO MUCH for the input. I did indeed bleed the brakes according to the manual and all that...the fronts were correct, but what was INCORRECT on our part is we/I did install the back calipers on the wrong side...that is to say the bleeder valves were on the bottom...I took them off this am, switched this am - did normal bleeding procedures and I have a firm pedal back. I couldn't get my ABS to activate on my gravel road...so I still may have to investigate that and have him bring back his diagnostic tool to test / activate the ABS system.

Thanks again...fundamentals first....

Cheers all! You can guarantee I'll check that EVERY time now on any brake job.....nipples up!!

Special thanks to PRIMEM! So this makes #3 for your caliper input being on point!
