Yikes!
I'm also glad you, the truck and everyone else made it through that unscathed.
Been a looong time since I've had a complete brake failure. I know my reflexes aren't what they used to be either.

The pads, calipers and hoses are new. I’ve been in the auto/truck repair industry since high school, and I’ve never seen that happen. I’ll survey the carnage in the morning so I don’t have to juggle a flashlight

Idk, maybe I missed something when I installed them, but this did happen after about 100 miles since the installation. Guess I’ll know in the morning

So everything is how it’s supposed to be with the exception of the outer brake pad. I have no clue what or why the clips broke off of the other pad. I put it back together with new pads, ensured everything fit as it should. Did a small test drive which was successful.

In mass production, there will always be parts that are defective. Every once in a while the bad ones make it through QC. Just an unfortunate reality.
I'm just glad there's no major damage and that you got everything back together without much fuss.

Thank you. I hate blaming things on defective parts, but as we all know, there’s really no way to install the pads wrong on these trucks. If the same thing happens again, I’ll replace the caliper. I just hate not knowing exactly what caused the failure, because now I have no way of knowing if this could happen again. Luckily I was able to dodge all of the cars in that busy intersection, which is a challenge in a boat of this size lol
