Hi hooterman10, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

If there's no leakage anywhere and was bleed properly could be the ABS unit-bleeding sequences start at the MC, ABS modulator then wheels. Could be the new MC leaking internally though its new-been here before

I have put 2 remanufactored and now a brand new MC Its got to be something else. Can I completely eliminate the ABS unit by installing a upper proportion valve?
