Freakin master cylinder - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought I would be real nice to my truck yesterday. Went and bought a new master cylinder from Carquest. Supposedly American made by Raybestos.

Got home bench bled and installed it. After about an hour and about a 1 gallon of fluid, I still had no pedal. I tried everything. So in desperation I re-bled the old one and installed it. After 5 minutes of bleeding the system, it held pressure.

Boy was I pissed off big time. New master cylinder and it was faulty -
I assume.

So I guess a remanufactured Japanese unit will be what goes on the truck.

So much for American quality.

Sorry, I'm still pissed.
