Saved my dad’s life a second time. My old ride, ‘05 GMC Yukon 8.1 is no more. Dad was driving it yesterday, brakes failed as he was approaching a red light, he hit 3 or 4 other cars and both airbags delpoyed (glad I got that airbag light fixed before I sold it to him...). He suffered a few bruises, his wife a broken ankle or something. I’m on vacation with little to no cell service (mostly none) so details are still sparse but he said the pedal went to the floor... Most of the brake lines were replaced a few months ago so hmmmm. I can’t wait to get back to civilization so I can talk to him, but it sounds like there were no serious injuries so that’s good. So sad.
Goodbye Yuk. You will be missed. Thanks for doing your job and protecting your passengers!

Whoa! I’m glad he’s okay. Could’ve been worse. Cars/trucks can be replaced, people can’t. I'm glad it did its job!

Fishy like how? I’m guessing they didn’t replace all of the brake lines and one out of sight was as rusted as the rest. I know, dual master cylinder and all that, but I don’t know if I’ll get all of the details.

Sounds like somebody might not have done their job correctly.

Yeah, I’m hoping that’s not it but after talking to him I don’t think it lost fluid pressure. Sounds to me more like he lost the power booster, which is hydraulic.
