did you keep the resourvior full during the whole flush, its important not to let it get below cause thats when you can get air in it. just like bleeding your brake system.
i put my front end up on jacks and did the whole thing alone. with the return line off and pumping the brakes and turning the wheel it doesn't come out that fast so you can do it alone.

It seems to be getting a little better, the air must be working its way out.

To the left of the steering column, behind the ignition switch harness, is the brake shift interlock solenoid (about the size of a "C" cell battery). If you unplug it (plug has 3 wires- lt blue, black, & brown), the interlock solenoid will disable and you won't have to push the brake any more to move the shift lever when the truck is in the "on" position. I did this a few years ago on my brother-in-laws '95 F250 and the Superduty trucks work the same way. Just checked this out on my '01. You probably have a problem related to the brakelight switch or wiring. I haven't found the wiring diagram for this yet. Hope this helps.

Update to my previous post
The BPP (brake pedal postion) switch is 2 switches in 1. One part activates the shift interlock solenoid and sends a signal to the PCM, GEM, and ABS modules (fuse 15). The other activates the center high mount and rear brake lights(fuse 13) . These fuses are in the central junction box inside the truck.

I had a 96 F150 and I had a brake light bulb burn out. It did the same thing as you are talking about.... turn the key on and you could step on the brake and it would pop out of park, with the truck running it would not. changed the burned out bulb and it was good again

Removing the "power", from the solenoid ,will not allow the solenoid to "lock" the shifter. No power, No lock.

Unplugging the solenoid keeps the shifter "unlocked". The brake light switch is removing the "power" to "unlock" the solenoid.

So that would say, If i get stranded and can't get the thing out of park I could just pull battery cables off "no power". Put it in nutural, hook the cables back up, start it in nutural then get back on my way? That would be a good way to get going again if unsure about finding/unplugging solenoid or what fuse it is.

After getting temporarily stuck in front of a contractors office I decided it is time to put this to bed.
5 minutes later all is well. It would have taken 1 minute but the alarm guy left a rats nest under the steering column.
It was a good time to cut the key chime wire as well
It seemed like when the front end was downhill was when it alwayys locked on me
thanks for your help
