I'm going through the same crap too. I've heard these trucks can be a pain. Make sure you bench bleed the master, and tip up and down 30 degrees as you bleed it. It took quite a while to do mine. Apparently the problem is with the proportioning valve. I pressure bled mine and it seems a lot better, but will have to wait until I can road test it to be sure. If you already have everything together, then try raising the front of the truck as high as you can to try and get the master somewhat level.
