I was driving my S10 (Manard) from Lansing to Jackson MI to meet up with my partner to drive to Plymouth yesterday I pulled off the exit and NO BRAKES!

I parked the truck in Jackson and went to Plymouth with my partner. When I got back, a big puddle of break fluid was under the truck.

I limped back to Lansing after re-filling the master cylender (with no breaks to speak of) . My mechanic said the break line had rusted through and ruptured. So I am working from home he rest of the week.

 

My Dad's S-10 had the dust shield break and take out his rotor. He was stopping one day and heard a loud crunch. When we changed his brakes half his rotor was missing!!

 

Wow that must have been a suprise 4 sure.

 

Wow glad you made it safely. Those older s10's are good little trucks. I drove them for years and never had to do much more than general maintenance to them. Replacing the clutch was probably the most I ever put into one. I would like to pick one up again before too long.

 

It's a good little truck and we use it for winter driving, camping ect... any thing we don't want to mess up our Montes for.

Yep they are replacing all the breaklines I feel if one rusted through the others are close behind. He's got 145,000 miles now.

 

Glad you are ok., At work we are replacing brake lines and fuel lines on the mail trucks as need , They are S10 frame under a Grumman body..

 

Really a S10 frame? Have to tell wife that shell get a kick out of that.

Thanks ya I am alright,
