You need to tell us what your truck is
gears, trans, tire size, milage, ANY mods that have been done, etc
as for putting 20,800lb load on a trailer behind one of these trucks, YES, you will ALWAYS know it is there no matter what mods you do to it
That truck in the BEST configuration is only rated at 20k GVCW(gross weight of truck, trailer and load), no leads 21k just on the trailer. you are asking WAY to much from your truck, you need a single axle tractor for those weights

Slave, master, or wheel cylinder. There all different. Which one is leaking. Brakes are more important than power. If you have no fluid you won't stop. E-brake on anything is not something you want to have to use. At the weights your running I wouldn't take a chance
