I OWN A 2001 SILVERADO WITH 45K MILES. LOOKS BRAND NEW ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. THE WIFE TOOK THE GARBAGE DOWN TO THE DUMPSTER AND COMPLAINED SHE HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO STOP BECAUSE THEY WHEN DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I PULLED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OFF AND SAW THE PADS WHERE IN GREAT SHAPE. I NOTICED FLUID UNDER THE DRIVE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. PUT MY FINGERS IN THE FLUID AND DETERMINED IT TO BE BRAKE FLUID.
