Braking Issue

NEWBIE!!!.....Just thought I'd warn you good folks!.......I've got good, tall, solid brakes, and they stop perfect. However, on no particular schedule, they fail. Here's the simulation: Rolling up to a stop, apply brake pedal, feels right, suddenly for no reason, the pedal releases and goes to the bottom of it's travel where it gets really stiff. If I mash hard on the pedal at this point, the braking system begins to stutter, and stops very abruptly. If I do a quick pedal pump, the brakes are back up tall and strong and all acts normal. I replaced the master cylinder, but the problem persist. Any ideas?

Look at this link.

There is sticky thread about mods and stuff (https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ostic-faq.html) If you click into that you can access other links for some issues, and some modifications that people might want to do like intercoolers and such.
