On my Kenworth K104 the low air buzzer comes on after only 3 brake applications, the air pressure is set to 850kpa.

Are you draining water from the air tanks. There should be small taps on the bottom of all air tanks. Locate these and open slowly when system is under pressure. Make sure you close them when finished.

Brakes go all the way to the floor, the van set for 1.5 years, I changed the master cylinder but have not bleed the brakes yet. could it be something else?

Indicates air still in the system. I suggest that you start at the master cyl, remembering to keep it full during & after each attempt at bleeding the system and to only fill it by using a funnel & allowing the brake fluid run down the side to eliminate new air being put into the system.

Bleed the master cylinder first by loosening those brake lines while someone has pumped up the system & is holding the pedal to the floor. Make sure your assistant is not releasing the brake pedal before you are tightening the lines each time after bleediing the system, and that all brake pedal movement is done slowly, especially releasing the brake pedal. It causes fluid to rise into the air, bringing air back into the fluid.

Next, go to the farthest brake away from the master cylinder & bleed it, working yourself to the next farthest until you finish with the closest brake. This prevents air from switching lines on you during the process.

If there are no leaks & you have followed this method, there shouldn't be any air in the system & your brakes should be good.

Double check inside the truck to see if there is brake fluid coming from the new Master cylinder behind the brake pedal, that indicates the new seals didn't seat properly.

good luck

1994 ford explorer will not stop, I have replaced the brake pads,

My vote would be the Master Cylinder.
I had a truck sit for 4 years. After getting running again, it did the same thing you're describing. No brakes. I ended up replacing the Master Cylinder to fix the problem. Just make sure you bleed the system real good.
