How old is the brake master cylinder? I found out the hard way that towing a boat with a truck that hasn't seen a load in several years can become exciting fast. The extra load on the brakes meant the piston in the MC was going into rarely used and apparently rusty territory. The third or fourth stomp on the brakes due to traffic had the pedal going to the floor and the brake warning light coming on. Got home ok but lesson learned.
Good point, it's original to the best of my knowledge.
