No return pressure caliper

I am in the process of fixing my brakes on my 2002 4x4 F-250 diesel.
I kept having issues with phenolic pistons dragging so I bought steel pistons and put them in brand new Power stop calipers.
Put the calipers on, bleed the brakes.
Go to turn the wheel after I turn the truck off, and the brakes won’t release.
I open the bleeder and barely any fluid comes out, which to me means there isn’t return pressure in the caliper.
What would cause this? Thanks.

How old are the hydraulic brake hoses? If they have 150k miles on them, replace them ALL.
