Brakes

[gontek]

I have been having a reoccurring dream that I am driving along in my truck and suddenly I have no brakes.

Aside from psyhcological help, what can I do in real life to ensure this does not happen? What are the most common failure modes for brakes?

I have replaced my drums and pads, and all those springs and things that come in the brake kits. I never lose any power brake fluid. If a brake line goes out and I lose fluid, would I lose all brake or just power brakes?

If it happens I will downshift and ram curbs or inanimate objects to come to a stop, thats my emergency action plan and what I do in my dreams too.

I am hoping some peace of mind will stop these nightmares short, I am open to advice, so I can stop having these ridiculous nightmares. Brake lines are original, maybe replacing them will give me the peace of mind I need.
