SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2000 GMC SIERRA'S FRAME IS EXTREMELY RUSTED. PARTS OF THE FRAME HAVE RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH. ALL THE BRAKES LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO RUST AS HAVE MANY OTHER BRAKE PARTS. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK USED BUT PREVIOUS OWNER STATED HE REPLACED THE BRAKE LINES DUE TO A LOW SPEED ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SEVERE CORROSION OF THE BRAKE LINES BECAME APPARENT DURING A SUDDEN APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSED MULTIPLE BRAKE LINES TO RUPTURE AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO BRAKES SINCE A LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS UNIT FRONT LEFT INPUT AND THE ABS TO THE REAR T LINE BLEW SIMULTANEOUSLY. WHEN REMOVING THE DAMAGED BRAKE LINES THEY LITERALLY CRUMBLED TO PIECES DUE TO CORROSION. DURING THE REPAIR TO THE BRAKE LINES SEVERE CORROSION WAS NOTED ON THE FUEL LINES ALSO.
