Noticed that the master cylinder was leaking. 60k on the car currently. Any suggestions on best place to get a replacement. Something in between dealer and auto zone? Will install myself.

MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.
Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.
Rest In Peace:

See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.
IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.
Funny this thread popped up. I had a brake flush done this weekend with new brakes installed and something still dont seem right. I have about a 1/4 free play before I start feeling pressure. I think I may need a master as well.

Bench bleed the new one before you put it in to make sure there is little to no air added to the systemto make it easier then leave the bleeder screws open on the calipers after install and flush out all the old fluid in the car to remove all moister build up in the fluid.
Break fluid does build up moister and most break lines rot from the inside out due to this. So any time the system gets something replaced it is best to flush it all out.
Fuel systems and Break systems are basicly the only things that do build up moister.

The local dealer wants $214 for a new Ford unit and Napa wants $137 for a new United unit. Is the Ford marking worth $77??

interestingly, the "Dorman" brand remans have two different Part #'s, one for W/ Traction Control, one WO/ Traction Control.
I didn't realize traction control would make a difference...

You guys know more about this then I, but: I read somewhere that when dealing with a leaking master cylinder you need to look closely at the vacuum booster as well. The leaking fluid will damage the vacuum seal on the booster and lead to repeat failures. Is this accurate?
