Master Cylinder 2002 Fleetwoord Workhorse

We have a 2002 Fleetwood on a workhorse chasis. 8.1 Ltr Vortec. I want to change out the Master Cylinder. Disc brakes front and back.

Can someone tell me a part number or something so I can locate a Master Cylinder?

Brakes feel spongy.

  • PortWentworthSam......I had an 04 Fleetwood Terra with the 8.1L Workhorse chassis. They had brake issues for several model years, including bad calipers. Unless yours if different, I believe your master cylinder booster is powered by the power steering pump.

    Personally, I would do the front and rear brakes, add new rubber brake lines to the front calipers (this was an issue for awhile with the hoses collapsing). Bleed the entire system with a synthetic fluid and see how the brakes work. If they're still spongy, then look at the master cylinder.

    OP, here's their website. Oemys-performance.com

    Real nice people to work with, too, if you need to order anything from them.

    Before you replace the master cylinder, when was the last time the brakes were bled? If it was more than a couple of years ago, I'd give that a shot first.
