Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AND TOWING A 9000# TRAILER NOTICED BRAKE PEDAL WAS GETTING A LITTLE SPONGY. STOPPED AT REST AREA AND CHECKED THE FLUID AND NOTICED IT WAS QUITE LOW. LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND COULD SEE FLUID DRIPPING FROM A BRAKE LINE. MECHANIC PUT THE TRUCK ON THE RACK AND SHOWED WHERE ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND THE ONE HAD RUSTED THROUGH. MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK. REPLACE ALL METAL BRAKE LINES WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES, ALSO REPLACE ALL THE RUBBER LINES AS A PRECAUTION.
