How old is the one being gotten out of the junk yard ?
You or anyone else does not know..
so I would be afraid of suggesting to someone else they put a used one on.

I think that the rate of failure is high also. Is there any chance that someone associated with the MC is not in alignment... ? the push rod bent or something ? I do think you are going to have to look in the booster to find any further answers....
I do think at some point of neglecting warning signs that the inside of the booster can get ' hydrauliced ' .... hydro locked... liquid on both sides of the diaphram or piston which locks it up....
