After removing the EFI from our GMC I was going to move it back to the storage facility
Started it up and put my foot on the brake and it almost went to the floor
Pumped the brakes and it came up but I was leery of moving it.
I checked the master cylinder and the rear reservoir was low.
I re-chocked the wheels and while doing so found a chunk of the friction material by the left front wheel.
I have ordered new pads.
The calipers are 80 mm that I put on with new semi-metallic pads about 9 months ago just before going to Tallahassee.
Has anyone had this happen to them?

When I open this up I will post more pictures.
