Welcome to FTE MJForehand,

Before you mess with the brake master cylinder, there is a recall on some trucks. Check to make sure if yours is covered.

Maybe the rod in the master cylinder wasn’t properly adjusted or the master cylinder was improperly bled. Take it back and have their best brake tech fix it.
