What happened to my brakes?

I forgot to take pic, but the wheel was swung to the left and the ball joint and front end was in dirt , you could see the ball joint and guys with tow truck said that it popped out they tried to put it back on and it popped right back out so they tied wheel on so they could get it on towtuck

 

@Thegr8punkin.....I don't know what you're talking about?

 

I've seen a couple first gens like that. Anyways fun to have to roll into the shop looking like that

 

I'm ready now lol

 

Me ether!

 

@craftypaws just look at @GNTundra 's profile pic and you'll get an idea of who he realllllllyyyyy is!

 

Yes I am like you I almost always go to a dealer but this was one of those things I had my guy come by to put a belt on before my trip and he did not lift up the front of the truck and I knows that's the only way to tell but then again i drove 400 miles so guess It could have gone at the end of my trip with a lot of weight on the trailer, who know I was just dam lucky this time

 

Man now your turning into some of the people over on Instagram! Lol

 

Wow! Kinda scary.

 

Very scary. I'm glad your alright.

 

I am real glad no one else got hurt by my trailer that would have gone flying through the air with my truck rolling with it

 

Glad things weren't worse and no one was injured but your wallet. It sounds very much like two unrelated problems. If rear shoes and adjustment check out good, and the front wheel bearings don't have play, and there are no leaks in the system, then the master cylinder should be replaced even if it's working alright again now. A vacuum booster problem will never give a soft pedal that goes flat to the floor, rather, a hard pedal or brakes that won't release.

 

Another thought, were you braking hard for an extended time leading up to when your pedal dropped to the floor?

It's possible that if you overheated your brakes that boiled the brake fluid in your calipers. Brake fluid absorbs water and it's boiling point drops significantly as it does.

 

I was not breaking hard because my turn was coming up so going slow the breaks went to floor 1 st time I pressed them, I use to drive truck long ago so use to things going wrong but this was weird
