Another coworker came up to me when he'd heard and said "Why the fark do you want another Jeep that you can't drive and have to fix all the time?"

Unfortunately, the "good" mc was on it's way out - it would bleed off
if it sat more than 20 minutes or so and had to be pumped back up before I could use it. I can't complain about the service - I got the mc and the slave from the junk yard 4 years back. After pulling it off and tearing it down I will look for a kit to put in it for a spare, tho. It was full of black sludge and probably most of the problem was the valves getting plugged up by dying rubber parts.
