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.
