After all this, I've still have no Breaks any help would be appreciated.

    I wonder if someone blew out seals by shoving the pedal all the floor?

    Yup, always put a spacer under the pedal when bleeding.

    What happens if you push it with the engine off?

    And, bear with me, how did you bleed the brakes. Like ...

    Did you use positive pressure on the reservoir (powerbleeding)?
    Was the truck running while bleeding?
    What order did you bleed in, exact order of wheels?
    Did you bleed the LSPV (brake prop valve) also, since that's pretty damn important?

    Beyond that,
    Are you 100% positive you have no leaks at a bleeders or any other line?

    Okay, just thought i'd given update. Not a hundred percent sure what is going on Got in from work. Did the usual win inside with my family for a while, Yada Yada.

    Anyways went out to my truck, looked at the LSP v just to see if there was any leaks, it's around, did not See anything. So went to start my vehicle batteries Is dead go figure Anyways after jumping the battery Started my truck, put it in drive and my brake pedal work. Try to no reverse again my break that worked granted i'm only Moving in my driveway so short distances, but it's stopping before it was doing anything so now that it's later and less traffic is out. I guess I'm gonna drive it up the street. That way I can get more speed going and see what kind of pedal I have But I have not done nothing since yesterday. When I bled them and had absolutely no luck. 0 pedal for some reason After I got off work today in the driveway at At least now I have some type of pedal just not sure where it came from or how long it will stay ‍♂️

    Try a few pumps of the pedal with the engine off. See what the pedal does.
