Thank you!

Well work on the truck might begin sooner than expected. Took the truck out Saturday night for a local cruise-in since it was a nice night and came home with no front brakes. While heading down a busy road someone in front of me stopped short causing me to get on the brakes harder than normal. On my factory tach dash (not original to the truck) I noticed the "Tandem Lock" light came on. Thought it was weird but didn't think nothing of it. I kept driving and noticed the brakes were starting to feel a little funny. When we stopped to get ice cream I popped the top off of the master cylinder and noticed one of the reservoirs was empty. I was able to limp the truck home safely but I haven't had a chance to look at it. I'm guessing I blew a brake line or fitting. Hopefully one day this week I'll swap vehicles and get it up on the lift to see what's wrong. I might go ahead and take this opportunity to upgrade the brakes.
