ive bled the brakes 3 times because i have no front brakes.
everytime i bleed them the front driver side has no pressure it just barely drips out or a TINY bit of fluid kind of squirts out. every other wheel is fine. the caliper doesnt seem to be leaking.

ANY opinions/ideas of what it could be? anyone had this happen to them?

This is typical of air in the master cylinder. I fought this for about 2 weeks. The only way to get it out is push fluid from the resevoir port out the bleeders one at a time. I used a syringe and rubber stopper that came with my new master cylinder, not sure how you would do it any other way. Go to the parts store and ask to see a new master cylinder for your truck, the syringe and stopper will be in there so you can get an idea of what i'm talking about.

yeah, i forgot to mention one of the brake lines rusted through but it was one of the lines going to the rear... i lost alot of fluid but i would think bleeding would get the air out that got in there?

I would think you have dirt in the line some where . follow the line from caliper to the master cylinder .

As far as that goes it might be the bleeder have you pulled it all the way out and still get no fluid

I am betting it is one of these start with the bleeder first .

You say the calper does not leak does it move at all if it does it may be the valve

Good luck

I thought you'd be able to bleed it out too. I bench bled the new MC and then lines like i've done several other vehicles to no avail. For some reason these MCs trap a pocket of air in them that will not come out any other way that i've tried. I even tried a vaccum bleeder, two of them actually. You have to do it the way I described. I had the exact same symptoms.

sounds like the line is clogged....
