I give up

Hey Guys

My night mare continues, soft sinking brake petal still kicking my butt.

Replaced master cylinder, booster, RABS, adjusted rear drum brakes tight.
I have ran 3 quarts of brake fluid through the system

There are no leaks in the brake lines or wheel cylinders.

The Ol Girl has to go to the shop as I am unable to struggle with this anymore. Chest pains and panic attacks is more than I can bare any longer

8 nitro in 2 days is pushing it

Thank to all who have tried to help this old wore out ol' man.

I have hit this before. When the MC are rebuild trash/metal shavings are sometimes not flushed out well enough causing it to tear/cut the seal inside. The trick to this is not to bottom out stroke when bleeding. This takes longer and more fluid but you don't hit the trash left in the bore.

I played this game on an 01 f350. I made the jackass mistake of installing the left caliper on the right and the left on the right. It all bolted up right but the bleed screws were on the bottom. I bled them and didn't think anything about it and fought it for a long time. Squishy pedal but it would stop. So I don't know if you messed with the calipers on the front, but check that?
