Okay, it just barely oozes fluid. So I bled the master cylinder in place just to see if it’s pushing fluid. It seems okay. Thinking of bypassing combination valve.

Sounds like the master cylinder is no good. I would replace it again and rebleed everything.

I do not see that replaced the master cylinder again?
This sounds like a defective master cylinder as I suggested.

Yea, this is the second one replaced. I took the former master cylinder and put it in vise and found that it wasn’t pumping from front reservoir. So replaced it with a new one. I bench bled it before installing it yesterday.

You will need a pressure bleeder. A vacuum bleeder does not work well at all for bleeding out the air.
Do you have ABS?

You will need a scan tool to bleed that system.
I attached the procedure below for you to follow.
Roy
ABS Automated Bleed Procedure
Two - Person Procedure
Important:
Use the two-person bleed procedure under the following conditions:
- Installing a new Electro-Hydraulic Control Unit (EHCU) or new Brake Pressure Modulator Valve (BPMV).
- Air is trapped in the valve body.
Do not drive the vehicle until the brake pedal feels firm.
- Do not reuse brake fluid that is used during bleeding.
- Use the vacuum, the pressure and the gravity bleeding procedures only for base brake bleeding.
1. Raise the vehicle in order to access the system bleed screws.
2. Bleed the system at the right rear wheel first.
3. Install a clear hose on the bleed screw.
4. Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a container partially filled with clean DOT 3 brake fluid.
5. Open the bleed screw 1/2 to 1 full turn.
6. Slowly depress the brake pedal. While the pedal is depressed to its full extent, tighten the bleed screw.
7. Release the brake pedal and wait 10-15 seconds for the master cylinder pistons to return to the home position.
8. Repeat the previous steps for the remaining wheels. The brake fluid which is present at each bleed screw should be clean and free of air.
9. This procedure may use more than a pint of fluid per wheel. Check the master cylinder fluid level every four to six strokes of the brake pedal in order to avoid running the system dry.
10. Press the brake pedal firmly and run the Scan Tool Automated Bleed Procedure. Release the brake pedal between each test.
11. Bleed all four wheels again using Steps 3-9.
This will remove the remaining air from the brake system.
12. Evaluate the feel of the brake pedal before attempting to drive the vehicle.
13. Bleed the system as many times as necessary in order to obtain the appropriate feel of the pedal.

The module must be programmed to your VIN number in order to work.
The module will not cause a little or no brake pedal.

Neither code is listed for your truck. Get the module programmed and see what happens.

Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) Replacement
Removal Procedure
Important: After installation, calibrate the new EBCM to the tire size that is appropriate to the vehicle.
Important: Thoroughly wash all contaminants from around the EHCU. The area around the EHCU must be free from loose dirt to prevent contamination of disassembled ABS components.
imageOpen In New TabZoom/Print
1. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the EBCM (2).
2. Remove the four T 25-TORX mounting screws (1) that fasten the EBCM (2) to the BPMV (3).
3. Remove the EBCM (2) from the BPMV (3). Removal may require a light amount of force.
Important: Do not use a tool to pry the E13CM or the BPMV.
4. Clean the BPMV (3) to EBCM (2) mounting surfaces with a clean cloth.
The module will not cause a little or no brake pedal.
