Brakes still dont work.

Is the proportioning valve/brake saver working correctly? We replaced mine this summer. The brakes worked, but the rears didn't work well. We bled them with a vacuum system and someone pumping the pedal, but they still didn't work right. Then we changed the master cylinder, as it didn't look great (old fluid) and was quicker and easier to swap than rebuild. I was still having issues - the proportional valve (brass-looking unit mounted under the rad and super easy to get at ) was almost stuck, but not completely. Changed it and had the brakes properly bled in 30 minutes.

Nvm. Old master = good. I haven't even bled the lines but I needed to get the tuck in the garage (it's freezing) and it stops better than woth the other matser
However my truck REALLY does not like the cold

Well I'm glad that the master cylinder took care of the problem for you.

Yall know how to get the master to stop making the goose sound at the end of the stroke. The other one did it too.

I believe the sound you are talking about is coming out of the booster. Is it a continuous sound or only when the pedal is in motion?

Just kinda at the end of the stroke. It kina weezes or makes a goose sound.
I can't hear it when the truck is on but I'm shure it's there. Both masters did it.
