Where is the master cylinder?
In a car/truck it is located under the hood at the firewall directly behind the brake pedal. Look for a brake fluid container. That big round thing attached to the master cylinder is a 'booster'; if your vehicle has 'power brakes'. Hydralic fluid becomes pressurized in the master cylinder when you stomp on the brake pedal...this pressure is directed by the brake lines (steel tubing) to the wheel cylinders (slave cylinders) which expand under pressure; forcing the brake pads/shoes against the brake drum/rotor. It's called a master cylinder because it actuates the slave cylinders....contact the ACLU or the NAACP if that's a problem!
What happens when you step on the brakes?
In a manual brake system, the pressure from your foot increases the pressure in the brake lines and in the brake cylinders. The clyinders expand and press the brake pad or shoe against the brake friction surface (a drum or a rotor) increasing the friction and causing the wheels to stop or slow. In a power brake system, your foot pressure is enhanced by the power assist on the master cylinder to make stopping easier.

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.
