I've been experiencing braking problems with my E250 van. All 4 wheels seem to be getting excessively warm and the engine has to work harder to overcome the braking load. The brake pedal is high when this occurs.

Loaded front calipers were installed last fall, front brake hoses were recently replaced.

Could there be a problem with the master cylinder?
