I OWN A 1999 GMC SIERRA 3 DOOR TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN MY BRAKES FOR SOME REASON FAILED. I TRIED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK BUT IT ALSO FAILED. AFTER PUSHING THE TRUCK HOME, I CHECKED ALL THE BRAKES AND LOOKED OKAY EXCEPT FOR THE REAR RIGHT EMERGENCY BRAKE LINING. IT WAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT TO THE METAL. THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. IM NOT SURE WHY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE GTT WORN OUT IF THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME USING IT.*AK
