What are the symptoms of a bad brake master cylinder on a 1992 Geo Tracker?
The most common symptom of a master cylinder that has failed is that when you stop and hold your foot on the brake pedal it will slowly fall to the floor. This is called pedal fade and means the seals within the master cylinder are leaking. If you push the brake pedal and it does not return it may be defective. You may also see a leak at the master cylinder.

Why does your Toyota 1990 pick-up master cylinder keep going out?
Logically if the Master Cylinder keeps failing there are only a certain amount of things coming into play here. Either you are buying defective products or the brake fluid is contaminated and causing the Master Cylinder to fail prematurely. Let's start with the Master Cylinders you are installing. I will not name suppliers but not all Master Cylinders are created equal. Some rebuilt Master Cylinders are defective right out of the box. I suggest you buy a NEW master cylinder. Before installing the new Master Cylinder flush all old brake fluid out of the entire system, install a new master cylinder and install fresh fluid from an unopened can. With a new master cylinder and fresh clean fluid, you should have no future problems.
