Hello all,
I just finished replacing all of the brake lines on my truck. Yeah, they rusted out. I cannot believe how badly almost every line was rusted. I had a small hole in one of my lines. I realized, while replacing the lines, that replacing just one would have been ill-advised.
I was going to bend the lines myself. But, decided to go with pre-bent stainless lines instead. I purchased the flex lines and stainless line sets from EGR Brakes. Glenn was a huge help in getting the right parts and technical help I needed due to a brain fart.
Dodge Engineers are......amazing.......ly irritating! Not only did they make the doors with poor drainage, resulting in RUST. But, they used several different types of line fittings. From different sizes, to switching from standard to metric throughout...
In short, all owners of 2nd gen. trucks should do a thorough inspection of all lines, especially the one going to the rear brakes.
