I asked my dealer to check it out and they said my brakes had locked due to the wrong brake fliud having been put in (silicon based). I am the only one to put fluid in and as far as I know, have never used other than DOT 3/4. They want to change out everything from top to bottom for $2800 which is far more thant the truck is worth.
Is this a diagnosis I should trust or might it be something else? Additionally, do I really need to change out all my brake system or just change the fluid and do some other minor repairs. Please remember, while I am driving the truck for the first 5 miles, it works like it always did and the brakes work fine. I must admit that at least once I noticed a smell like something burning but thought it was antifreeze related and that system looked OK.
