I'm thinking something is causing the MC to not return fully and so not open
the return valve(s) to the reservoir.  Not sure what that might be on a
1500, but maybe a corroded pedal pivot, or misadjusted brake switch, or
similar.  That is causing the system to both suck air as it cools, and the
pedal to get hard as it warms up.

Plus of course the friction surfaces are glazed and/or contaminated.
