    4th Gen master cylinder recommendation

    I'm thinking about replacing the master cylinder. I can't get the brake pedal as firm as I would like.

    Is there any benefit to getting a new one from Chevy or are the Autozone/Advanced/etc good enough?

    How about two Viagra dropped in?

    Firm, hard, I was in trouble no matter how I worded the question.

    No opinion on their durability, but MCs last long enough that I would probably buy the cheaper of the two if I needed one.

    Wayne,

    If you can still get the kits you can re-build your old M/C.

    The power booster was causing me issues once.
