I got off work early today and figured I would take the easy route on this. I thought about this first, so I got under the dash and adjusted the rod till there was more play. In neutral and E-brake off, I could roll the truck. Got in and hit the brake. It was a bit lower but was firm. Got out and rolled the truck. No lockdown ðŸ‘. Took it for a ride through several subdivisions , applying the brakes at least 50 or 60 times. A few times I jammed em on pretty hard. Other than a slight pull left all was good ðŸ‘. Im gonna hang on to the new master cylinder till Im sure things are ok.
Adjust the pedal linkage so the MC returns completely to its fully released position when you're off the brake pedal. There is a relief port at the extreme rearward point of the MC piston travel which must be uncovered to allow pressure to release in the brake lines.
