Review on πŸ”§ Dorman M39842 Brake Master Cylinder: Your Ultimate Solution for Reliable Braking Performance by Ryan Bowers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unit received does not look like the picture but matches the part number listed (and works with slight modifications to the electrical connector)

1. Unit received does not look like the picture though The picture actually looks like the OEM unit but has the part number listed. The picture shows the correct block, just like the original tank, and it appears to be the correct connector. The resulting device is a "jug" or tank with a vertical tube and a wire attached to the sensor that is electrically correct but does not fit the OEM connector from the firewall, at least not for the 1996 Corolla . It can be made to fit on the MC side of the connector with a little work with a knife and cut off the "corner wings" on the OEM side.2. A pair of threaded plugs were included to bleed the 'new style' bank. Worked fine.3. The position of the brake line screw connections was correct - there were no problems during installation. Overall it works well, just expect a little surprise if the unit you receive doesn't look like an OEM part or tank and you need to make some minor modifications to get the cable. tied together.

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
