I took my truck for a little drive yesterday and while I was out I lost all of my brakes and got a loud squeeking noise like the metal clip on the pads was rubbing the rotor then the ABS light came on and the brake light came on and no brakes I stoped and checked the fluied and all looked fine drove home using the parking brake got it there and parked it. It was just 25,000 miles ago I had a brake job done I have never had this happen to me before. Any ideas I will be doing the work myself I hope.

Thinks for your help what the trouble was is a bad master cylinder. This is the first time I have ever had one go bad.

That would have been my next guess. I'm glad it's fixed. Let us know if you have any other questions.
