Consumer Description

FRONT BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH. HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW A VEHICLE MANUFACTURER CAN PRODUCE A VEHICLE WITH STAINLESS EXHAUST THAT LASTS AS LONG AS THE TRUCK BUT STILL ASSEMBLE VEHICLE WITH STEEL BRAKE LINES THAT RUST THROUGH CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. THERE ARE BETTER MATERIALS TO MAKE BRAKE LINES FROM AND CHEVROLET SHOULD BE FORCED TO USE THEM. *JB
