I have a 2001 Ford F250 quad cab diesel truck. The brakes won't completly release after driving about 5 miles or so. The more I use the brakes, the worse it gets. I just replaced the brake booster, thinking that was the problem. Didn't make any difference. Could it be the master cylinder? Help please.

The next time it happens, crack the lines loose at the master and seee if it releases the brakes. If it does, the master is causing it. This could be due to incorrect pushrod adjustment at the master not completely releasing or even contamination of the brake fluid with any oil based product.
