brake light
the brake light is on on my 83 . every once in awhile the pedal goes down a little farther than normal and the brake light comes on . stays on until the next time the pedal goes down farther than normal , then it goes out. new pads and rotors . brakes work " good " . never have worked "great" since i had the truck. i suspect the master cyl may have an internal seal going bad ? what do you guys think ?

Re: brake light
I have the same problem with my 83. Happens only then I hit the brakes really hard. Truck stops on a dime!!

Re: brake light
Yup, sounds like an internal seal in the master.

Re: brake light
Definately a master cylinder. Mine did the same thing. Only problem is my brake light never went out.
Front to back, my entire brake system is brand new. Still the light on the dash wouldn't go out. I took out the bulb
