SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
EXCESSIVE RUST FROM MIDDLE OF UNDER CARRIAGE ON BACK LEAD TO TWO PART FAILURES. REAR MAIN BRAKE LINE ON DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE BURST WHILE APPLYING BRAKES IN DRIVEWAY LEADING TO BRAKE FAILURE. I STOPPED TRUCK BY APPLYING EMERGENCY BRAKE AND SLAMMING TRANSMISSION INTO PARK--THANK GOD THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE ROAD-- RESEARCH ON INTERNET REVEALS EXCESSIVE RUST FOR THESE TRUCKS IS COMMON. AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE TOYOTA TUNDRAS DROPPING A SPARE TIRE DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST, I FIGURE BRAKE FAILURE POSSIBLY LEADING TO TRAFFIC ACCIDENT QUALIFIES TOO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
LOOKED UNDER MY TRUCK AFTER MY BRAKES FAILED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. WAS SURPRISED AT HOW RUSTY ALL THE LINES ARE. AAA TOWED MY TRUCK HOME. I SPENT THE NEXT 3 DAYS REPLACING BRAKE LINES. NOW I NOTICED THE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER ARE RUSTY AS WELL. NOW I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THOSE AS WELL. I'VE NEVER HAD BRAKE LINES RUST OUT LIKE THESE HAVE. MY WIFE DRIVES A LITTLE 1999 ESCORT AND THE BRAKE LINES ON THAT ARE FINE. WHAT THE HECK THIS IS ALL THE USE YOU CAN EXPECT ON A GMC SIERRA? *TR
