brake pedal sticks
On my 96 f 240 4x4 auto the brake pedal stuck after I let off the brake it did this for the 12 mile ride home,I had to use my foot to pull it bake up or brakes would be stuck on.you think it may be the master cylinder?the master cylinder is has never been replaced and the truck has 200,000.what could be making the pedal stick like this?

wither the master cylinder or the pedal assembly. There should be some type of return spring, at least there is on the older all manual assemblies of the trucks I'm used to. Anyway, I'd go poke around under there first, then go master cylinder. Hate to replace it and find out it was a 5 cent broken spring.

You will need to bench bleed the master cylinder before putting it on, but not to sound harsh, if you did not know this, I suggest taking the vehicle to a repair shop to have this done. The entire brake system will need bled after this operation. You are taking the life of yourself and others in your hands if you don't know how to do this properly.

bench bleeding isn't the hardest thing in the world to do. Just pump the cylinder with fluid in the resevoirs until the bubbles quit coming out. This could take you a few min. though, and it is really important to get all the bubbles out.
I haven't had any booster problems, as I have manual brakes, Skinner and Troy, what were the sypmtoms and the fix? Don't know that much about boosters.
