I done a few brake jobs but this work is being done by a Ford tech who helps me out on his off time. He is not the master brake mechanic though but he's been working on cars for awhile.
He says he only has seen a blockage like this once so I took it to a local shop that does a lot of brake jobs to see if they can diagnose it. My buddy does side work but this looked like a long tedious job so I passed it on to a shop.
The brake pedal is firm and doesn't go to the floor like a Mountaineer we just repaired which needed a new ABS/HCU pump but that's another story lol
The truck stops normal from 0-40mph above that you can detect the truck pulling to the left when you brake hard.

Assume you have worked on brakes before and pretty much know what you are doing...if not, suggest going to a ASE Master Brake mechanic
Also assume you are waiting for the caliper & hose to fill up with brake fluid...then it will flow out the bleeder
Is the brake pedal going to the floor? Or is it stopping firmly?
If stopping firmly, there is a blockage
If going to the floor, the fluid is going somewhere (assuming the MC is in good condition)...like filling up the caliper and hose...
