My brake pedal is very soft and returns to top position very slowly. What's up?

What is your question?

I've bled them off x2 which helps for about 100 miles but gradually returns to soft pedal, poor stopping, and slow return to top position. No leaks noted and reservois remains full. ? a problem with vacuum pump/power steering pump. Welcome any help here.

It's a 99 Dodge 2500 Pickup with 5.9L Cummins diesel, auto tranny. I've noted too that the Power steering pump is making quite a bit of noise until warmed up, (it's been cold here).

If equipped with Hydraboost brake booster (I think it is).. Possible power steering pump or hydra boost problem.. Try YouTube for 'possible' video or a repair manual with flow chart for testing......... Have mechanic check it out..
