Pass. Side Caliper Bleeding Issues

I have a 2001 Ram 2500 CTD 4x4

I replaced both calipers in the front due to one being frozen and the other being old, I was able to bleed the front driver side but I constantly get bubbles out of the passenger side caliper. I’m using a brake bleeder system and still no luck. Is there any possibility that my master cylinder is bad or should I just keep bleeding it. I have used hardly any fluid during the bleeding process and spent about 1-2 hours going back and forth trying to get it to bleed.

What kind of bleeder system are you using? I've heard that if you're using a vacuum system, it's possible to pull air past the bleeder threads.

I am using a vacuum bleeder so that’s good to know. Should I use some thread tape to ensure it’s properly sealed?

Alrighty, i was finally able to get the caliper to properly bleed with a little gravity bleeding, some thread tape on the bleeder screw, a vacuum pump, and traditional bleeding
