What is the primary function of a brake master cylinder?

The brake master cylinder is the core component of your vehicle's hydraulic braking system. It converts the mechanical force you apply to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which then forces the brake fluid to actuate the brake calipers or wheel cylinders.

What are the signs that my brake master cylinder needs replacement?

Common signs include a brake pedal that feels spongy or goes to the floor, a noticeable increase in stopping distance, or visible brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder itself. You might also notice the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This DFC brake master cylinder does not include brake fluid. You will need to purchase the appropriate type and amount of brake fluid separately and ensure the system is properly bled after installation.

Product Details

This DFC brake master cylinder is built with a cast iron housing, a material known for its strength and durability, making it a solid choice for your 1966 or 1967 International 900A pickup. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your original unit, meaning it should fit right into your existing brake system without needing modifications. A properly functioning master cylinder is crucial because it's the heart of your hydraulic braking system, converting the force from your brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that pushes the brake pads or shoes against the rotors or drums.

When your original master cylinder starts to wear out, you might notice a spongy brake pedal, a longer stopping distance, or even leaks around the unit. Replacing it with a well-built unit like this DFC cylinder helps restore your truck's braking performance and safety. This particular cylinder is for 2-wheel drive models and is specifically made for the 1/2 ton 900 series pickups from International.

This part is a direct fit for your International 900A, 908B, and 908C models. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, which typically involves bleeding the brake system thoroughly to remove any air after replacement.
