My truck has blown 2 master cylinders, since my axle swaps. 78 disc outers on my EB 44, and 78 big drums on my narrowed 9".
I have had the same failure both times, the seals on the piston for the front brakes goes bad, leaving me with a mushy pedal and no front brakes.
The first master was original to the truck w/ 275k on it, the one I replaced 2 years ago was brand-new. I have a lifetime warranty on the new one so getting one isn't an issue. Also, I've never had a problem bringing 35"s 36"s or even 38"s to a stop very quickly, and always had a good solid pedal with any amount of applied pressure.
Is there a direct fit upgrade I should do, or could this just be a bad part? Are 78 F-150 calipers and wheel cylinders too much for the OEM master?
