I went to GGB4 over the past weekend. I was happy that I got 21 MPG round trip and that included plenty of mountain climbing in 2nd and brake fade on the way down. Anyway, 1 mile from my house yesterday I almost rear ended a pickup truck as my brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Pumping did not help. My pads and shoes are less than a year old and the system was bled a month ago. I left a message at my mechanics to fix this but is this most likely the master cylinder on it's way out? Should I pick one up at Bus Depot before bringing the van over? Is this something I can replace myself? Thanks, Bryan
