2008 Silverado 1500 2wd

front brakes seized up. 
we’ve replaced everything hubs, rotors, pads calipers, hoses, booster and master cylinder. With the truck running pedal is soft and brakes don’t release.

Propositioning valve stuck? Caliper bracket bolts too long and binding against the rotor? Something isn't bled properly, installed incorrectly or something. Solft pedal and brakes locked up don't go together.  Too tight on spindle nut? I got nothing. Just some thoughts. Hope you can get it figured out. That's gotta be frustrating.

The calipers aren't on upside down are they?


Where the bleeders are at the bottom instead of the top?

sometimes you have to grind the brake pad where it sits in the slide .... it can swell...then lube it up
