Default Brakes still dont work

I installed a new drivers side caliper (dont ask), rotors, and pads on the front of my truck. Got it all buttoned up and bled the brakes...and it feels like I still have air in the lines. the calipers bled so its not in there....why do my brakes suck now!!!???

bleed all the lines....yes all four calipers. it will also help get some of the discolored brake fluid out and freshen up the fluid. i do it every 20 thousand or so. and always after doing brakes. dunno if this helps. feels like im stabbin in the dark but let us kno what u find!

I'll try that today. Im afraid of there being air up in the lines somewhere cuz when I went to change to caliper i left the line to the truck hanging without a clamp on it. I'll try bleeding the other three brakes tonight and see where that gets me. Also...the bolt holding the brake line to the caliper seemed to be a little torqued last time i looked at it. Hopefully its not leaking from there. I'd have to go back to dodge to order that probly.
