I HAVE OWNED A 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO 4X4 EXTENDED CAB PICKUP FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS. DURING MY OWNERSHIP I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES WORKED ON NUMEROUS TIMES AS THE CALIPERS WERE STICKING, I COULD FEEL A SHUDDER WHEN COMING TO A STOP, OR FOR A SOFT PEDAL. LAST YEAR, I HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I MANAGED TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THAT UPON INSPECTION, THE TRUCK HAD RUPTURED A BRAKE LINE AND THAT TO ENSURE SAFETY, ALL BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED. *TR
