Bleed the master cylinder.& then rebleed the system.
How to fix brake will not bleed out
NO... Car and truck brakes are different in size.
There is still no fluid pressure. Make sure that the master cylinder was bled as well as the wheel cylinders. New master cylinders can be tough to bleed all of the air out. The new master could be defective.
Check for leaks under vehicle. You may have blown a hole through a rusty brake line.
If the rear brakes are drum brakes, then there could be a leaky wheel cylinder. The wetness inside the drum will cover all the brake shoes and parts and cause the wheel to lock up when applied. The build of pressure could be due to the wheel cylinder leaking and causing a pressure loss, but rising when the brakes are applied or pumped up. This may/may not be your case, but definitely worth checking the rears.
The slave cylinder function operates from hydraulic pressure received from the master cylinder when applied. In automotive hydraulics the slave cylinder can operate such functions as the brakes, clutch or any hydraulic operation.
A piston on each end of the wheel cylinder pushes outward when the brakes are applied. This pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum and stops the vehicle. The pistons are forced out by the pressure of the brake fluid inside the wheel cylinder when you apply the brakes.

A master cylinder should be replaced when it can no longer provide the pressure needed for the brakes to operate. You can tell it is failing when the pedal becomes soft.

Usually, a loss of pressure in your brake system means that there is a hole somewhere in the system. A leaking brake line or a punctured reservoir could cause a loss of pressure. A bad master cylinder could also cause a loss of pressure in the back brakes.
