    Master cylinder issues.

    I've gone through 3 masters in 4 weeks. They're "Rebuilt" units from Murrays and the same thing happened with all of them. They work well for a couple days then one day, straight to the floor..(this last one started leaking from the back at the booster)
    They're all for a 91 Caravan, 1" bore, correct prop valve, new brake parts front and rear, new fluid, new rubber brake lines and properly bled.

    I'm going to go to Napa and see if I have any better luck.
    Any tips? Should I go to a dealer?

    Thanks, looks like Rock auto it is...

    For the record...I didn't do it to be cheap it was a time thing. I still beat Omni daily and for some dumb reason I didn't think ahead for the master...
