Brake help

So I replaced both calipers rotors and pads in the front a year ago on my truck.

My front pass caliper was seizing up and I had front brakes on all the time.

Ordered pistons and seals.

Had my guys replace them in the caliper. No more seizing but, now the pedal has wayyy too much travel. Has resistance but nothing like before.

Any ideas?

I'm with Scott on this, sounds like air in the system still.

OK, yeah E things there might be air in the ABS module too.

They are using DOT 5 fluid. Is that going to cause any problems? E says that it brakes down yearly.

if they didn't flush the system completely that is bad news bears!! The 2 fluids (DOT 3/4 and DOT5) Do not mix!!! You will be replacing your entire brake system if that's what they did, the sponginess is not air, it's deteriorated seals.
