You did some impressive research. It is obvious now that I am not the only person with these brake issues. From what I have read so far - Ford had complaints and nothing seems to be a guaranteed fix.
Using standard part numbers for master-cylinders - there is only one bore size for my truck. 1 1/8". I think F250s with the smaller rear brakes have different master-cylinders.
Interesting reading but I am maybe more confused then ever. In my mind - a master-cylinder cannot "give" under pressure unless it is either bad - or is designed to bypass under extreme pressure.
I am trying to find some 4" PVC sewer-pipe to make an extra vacuum reservoir. Cannot hurt to have one. I do not want to see my brake warning light coming on under hard brake use. Making a reservoir by gluing two end-caps onto a chunk of PVC ought to be easy, right? I see now that all the stores in my area only carry "hollow core" PVC not suited for any pressure. I guess that means not suited for any vacuum either? Another idea is to use an empty 16 ounce propane tank.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
