Just noticed a click sound every time I push down on my brake pedal. The brakes are working OK but occasionally drag when hot after braking. No leaks anywhere. No grinding noise or pulling. The master cylinder was replaced a few years back.

Not sure if there's a problem coming.??

Assuming it is not the master cylinder, you could check the stop lamp switch. Easy things first.

Also check your spring attached to the pedal, it could be out of place.

Two easy things to look at. Hopefully its something simple and/or cheap to fix. Its weird how after you've owned a truck for a time you develop an ear for hearing any out of the ordinary noise.

Thanks.

Sometimes, my brake pedal rubs against the sheet metal in the floor. Likely due to worn out cab mounts. Sometimes I get out of the truck to find that my brake lights are on. Just something to look at.
