OK, lets start with the basics just to make sure we dont chase something simple for days. Are you sure it is a drum/drum MC and not a disc/drum? ( no, I dont doubt your intelligence but i do doubt the intelligence of autozone employees). did you bench bleed the MC before you hooked it to the rest of the system? did you start bleeding from the farthest wheel from the MC? are the bleeder screws all in all the way? (not just tight, one might have gotten stuck part way allowing air in)

and did you wait for all the little air bubbles to stop coming up from the MC?

Is there a way to tell if it is a disk/drum or a drum/drum? I usually read the screen when they are looking up parts and it was under 4 wheel drum, but that doesnt mean it wasnt packaged wrong. Yes I bled the MC before putting it on (didnt on the first one which could be why it was defective) Yes bled RR>LR>RF>LF and the bleeder screws do stick out a little bit more than I expected but before I put them on I tried screwing them in and that seems to be as far as they go in. and they are the same with both the new ones so I assume thats just how they are supposed to be. Yes I waited for all the bubbles to be gone before bleeding.

To Chryslerfat, The hose goes to the WC below the bleeder valve.
