Caliper ID?
Quick question regarding the brake calipers on my F250...I need to replace the master cylinder (pedal bottoms out, crappy stopping) and need to know how to ID whether I have the single or dual piston calipers. I haven't pulled the wheels yet, so I'm not sure what I've got. Any visual clues to look for so I pick up the correct Master Cylinder?
Also, any good sources for replacement brake lines? I know the front brake line coming from the MC is bad. I saw the stainless steel set in the LMC catalog, but I wondered if there was a better option out there. Don't need anything flashy, just a good factory replacement.

Just take a wheel off and look at the caliper. You'll see it right away if it has dual pistons or single.
A cheap way for brake lines is to just buy the lines and make your own. Pretty simple.
