Default brake and steering issues

changed rear calipers and rear brake lines. Bled brakes, started the truck and have no brakes and no power steering. Fluid levels are fine.What am I missing? Its a 2002 2500hd.

bled rear brakes using pedal. never had a good pedal. lost brakes and power steering on start up. had no problem with steering before doing the brakes. don't know if this has something to do with the hydroboost? thanks

So,you had a leak in rear line,changed calipers cause you couldn't open bleeders,I'm just thinking the system was open for awhile,bleed the fronts, sometimes you got to take it slow,5 easy pedal pumps,then bleed,repeat,do all corners

ended up bleeding the fronts too. Trying to figure out why the power steering doesn't work. and its not providing boost for the brakes. there was no problem with steering before.

On a guess,master cylinder went sour,not returning,you could loosen master a bit,check the activity,rod moving back on release of pedal,and hey,stuff happens,call it luck,all bad luck,like I have,lol
