07 Avalanche brake problem

I changed my brake fluid in my 07 LS and was being an idiot and let the brake fluid get low in the master cylinder bleeding them out. Now the pedal seems to travel a little further to stop the truck and they feel a bit spongy. I went through 2.5 cans of brake fluid bleeding the system again. They still feel the same, spongy and the pedal travels a little further than what I can remember. When I bled them a third time some air came out and all the fluid was clear. No air came out of the rear brakes, Some air came out of the FR caliper and FL caliper but I let them bleed out a good 4 or 5 times without any air bubbles coming out. Brakes still feel the same. Took it to a mechanic and had him bleed out the system again. Brakes still feel the same. I was wondering if I had to bleed the master cylinder or ABS unit because I let the fluid get low in the master cylinder. What says the forum braintrust??


The ABS light doesnt come on though...
