#1 - At some point they stopped making left and right calipers because the newer trucks have the rears flipped. If you have the older trucks sometimes the bleeder is in the wrong spot due to this and makes it almost unbleedable. If this is the case, its usually fastest to take it off and flip it to the right orientation, pop an old rotor in the caliper and bleed before replacing it onto the axle.
#2 - The masters get air stuck in them sometimes. I think there is a bleeder up on it. The only trouble I've had is with air in the MC it won't want to let off after braking to open the hole to let fluid back to the reservoir. It makes the brakes drag lightly until they heat up and eventually you can't move. It's so long ago I can't recall how we fixed it.
#3 - 9/10 times your symptoms are pin sticking maybe caliper too. I have put so many new pins and calipers in my 2001 F350 from it sitting around its crazy. Stuck pins will burn up a cheap pad and jam the backing plate in the caliper bracket in 10 miles, if it doesn't do that it warps the rotor. The rebuilt calipers sometimes don't have the right pin hole depth either so are jammed from new, always check the pin for full travel and nice lose fit. You can use anti-seize, I've tried the 20$ a tube Motorcraft silicone stuff, grease, nothing seems to work except regular driving to heat things up and dry it out.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
