SNAP! Nothing!

2001 Chevy Blazer 4dr LS 4WD

Truck has 135k and still runs real strong. I knew the brakes needed to be serviced. But, like everything else, it had to wait. Not enough pennies at the time. Well one week turned into 2 and the grinding grew a bit more intense and the brake power began to fade until, one day, they just stopped altogether. Front. Back. Done. It is now permanently parked and my family can't afford it to be.

Assuming the worst, does anyone have any idea what happened? If so, how much it might cost to get fixed? If so, do you live in South Florida?... lol

Thanks,

Mike

 

Is the red "brake" light on the dash on? Is the amber "ABS" light on? Brake pedal go to the floor? Is there brake fluid splattered on the inboard side of a tire? If so, probably drove it too long and blew out a caliper piston.

 

Also, the steel lines on GMs rust out all the time. I had to replace 2 on my my 1992 K1500 and 1 on my blazer.

 

Checked this morning & sure enough, not a drop of fluid. What next?

 

What about the lights on the dash and the pedal height?

 

u mean literally no fluid in the brake cylinder reservoir?
