Allright. It's 1pm. I'm in kankakee driving my 2001 s10. never had a problem with the truck. always starts, goes, stops, and repeat.
doin about 65mph on the 203rd mile of the day. go to slow down for a turn. the brake pedal is absolutely frozen. no give, no move, no brakes... i down shift till i stop on the side of the road. hop out... i have plenty of brake fluid. well, brake calipers are atleast still on the rotors.. i hope back in to make some phone calls. occasoinally pressing hard on the pedal. starts to give a little... and after a couple of inutes i hear a lot of air being pushed and the pedal functions again... i'm driiving again now, and the brakes appear to work... what the heck is going on and should I head home... 2 hrs away...? it kind of felt like my brake line was passing a kidney stone when it finally starting giving and i heard all the air??? -------------------- game over.

took it out to the shop. she pulled the vac line that runs from the power assist solenoid to the throttle body off, and swapped on a DSM line... (travis's never ending attempt to turn every car into a dsm.) and rtv'd around the fitting for the solenoid itself. thus far, it got back home from the shop... to peoria, all around peoria, and i'm halfway back to champ now with no problems.
the true test will be tomorrow. how does 500 miles sound. it's a quick fix but our parking lot is full of dsm's instead of s tens... -------------------- game over.
