OK, so I get the dumb a## move of the week. The power stering pump was low and I went to add Lucus power steering stop leak into the PS pump....but...the cute new girlfriend and I were talking and not paying attention (at least to the right thing) I put the thik goo into the master cylinder and not the PS pump. Don't ask....

So yesterday the brakes started to fade real bad at stop lights. I figure I blew out the seals on the over filled with thick goo Brake master cylinder. With 200,000 miles on the truck time for a new one anyhow, but when I went to advance auto parts website, I saw a huge difference in price on some of the Master cylinders? A cardone runs $70 and a Wagner $211. The photo shows that the Wagner comes with a resivor and the Cardone doesn't but that seems like a big cost difference still.

What is you alls expereince with Master cylinders? Is there one manufacture I should stay away from and/or one that has a good track record.
 
i got a reman on from napa. dont remember which one. i do remember that the cost of the one with the resivior was a lot higher. i opted for the one with out. one little set screw and the resivoir pops right out. 2 minute swap.

the napa reman seems to be working fine.
