Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY, APPLIED BRAKES TO FEEL THE PEDAL GO TO FLOOR. ABLE TO STOP AND INSPECT AFTER SOME DISTANCE. REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE UNDER TRUCK BED HAD CORRODED THROUGH, AND WITH A PUSH OF THE PEDAL, BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED EVERYWHERE. HAD TO HAVE LINE REPLACED FROM DIVERTER BOX UNDER CAB TO REAR CROSSOVER AT DRIVER REAR WHEEL, BADLY CORRODED! NOW IT IS MARCH OF 2012 (107,000 MILES), AND THE FRONT LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO DIVERTER ARE LEAKING AS WELL. THANKFULLY I NOTICED BEFORE DRIVING. I AM HAVING THE BAD LINE REPLACED, AND I AM LOOKING FOR A STAINLESS STEEL REPLACEMENT FOR ALL LINES! *TR
