When I turn my wheel left the brake pedal gets super firm and doesn’t compress unless I push very hard. Any thoughts on what this could be?
Truck has new calipers, pads, rotors, rear brake pads.

My credo
Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
Sounds like a front flexible brake hose getting pinched or kinked at left turns. Try looking it over as somebody turns the wheel.

Flexible hoses aren't that expensive. With all of the other new parts you've just put, a set of new flex hoses would be a good idea.

Air in the system. Bleed again. This time give the nut holding the lines to the calipers a goot solid smack with a hammer and then tighten again with a wrench. This sets the crush washers and doesn't allow air to seep in

I feel sorry for the nut holding the lines :/
