A STEEL BRAKE LINE CRACKED AND FAILED. I WAS AT MY HOUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED SO NO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DAMAGE. HOWEVER, THE BRAKE FAILED COMPLETELY AND INSTANTLY WITH NO WARNING. IT COULD HAVE OCCURRED AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. I HAD MY WIFE PRESS ON THE PEDAL WHILE I LOOKED FOR THE LEAK. IT WAS ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE STEEL LINE ROUTING FROM THE ABS MODULE TO THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE. IT CREATES A MIST OF FLUID NEAR THE RADIATOR. MY NEXT CONCERN IS THAT THE FLUID WILL CAUSE FURTHER CORROSION OF THE PARTS IT SPRAYED.
GOING OUT OF THE GARAGE,STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.NOTICED A PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND A RUSTED THRU BRAKE LINE AT THE ABS CONTROL VALVE. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ UPDATED 11/01/2017*CN
