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.

Ihope to be able to locate a replacer part today, and swap tonight or tomorrow. in the mean time, i'm impressed with how well the quick fix has held up. that was all. driving on it = bad. but, not much choice. atleast i' aware of the potential situation, and can drive accordingliny i tried googling champaign junkyards... got nothing, can you pm or email a name for me to look up? thanks. -------------------- game over.
