Went on like a 200mile road trip. My damn caliper fell off. Had to pinch the break line and drive home with no front break. It scratched the inside of the 28” wheel up alittle. I drove it to my buddies shop and he will fix it Monday. Ain’t that a kick in the dick

WTF? How does something like that happen?? That must've made a hell of a noise when it fell off.

That sucks. Make sure to get those bolts torqued right,. Did the caliper bracket bolts come loose or the caliper bolts themselves?

the bolts weren’t torqued correct is my bet . Had my buddy cusin shop do my brakes like 2 months ago. Sucks but that’s life
I definitely wouldn't have them work on your truck again; there's no excuse for a shop to do work than ends up endangering someone's life. Someone doing you a favor that's a backyard mechanic I can understand but a shop that does brakes that end up falling off after 2 months? WTF?
