I backed out of a parking lot then put it in drive started to ease off the brakes and heard a loud bang sound like something broke. Turned back in the parking lot and the brake pedal went to the floor. So, I changed the master cylinder and the brake booster. I've bled it a lot. I know I still have some air in the brake system. When I tried to test drive, I can build up enough pressure to stop. When I turn a sharp right or left the pressure, I built up goes completely out. It does stop the truck but not until it gets almost to the floor.

Good morning,

You need to bleed the ABS module to get rid of the air. You need a scan tool for this. You cannot bleed it manually.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
