Not sure why you felt the need to change calpers at 81K miles but thats not your issue. At some point you introduced a large quantity of air into the system either by letting the reservoir get too low or drained it out of the hoses. The only way you'll fix this issue in my opinion is to have your complete system power bleed. Once air is trapped in all the bends of the truck, manual bleeding will not work. I would take it to a shop that specializes in brakes and alignment and have it done. Good luck
