I WAS ABLE TO GET THE DUALLY SLOWED DOWN WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT WAS IT EVER CLOSE. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK BACK TO MY HOUSE, I BEGAN INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE AS I SAW NO LEAK AND THE RESERVOIR WAS NEAR FULL. I SAW ONLINE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A GM ISSUE WITH A FEW YEARS OF TRUCKS IN MY AGE BRACKET. I CLIMBED UP UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE LINES TO BE SHOT. NOT ONE WITH A RUST HOLE, BUT ALL OF THEM CORRODED FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. I KNOW THE TRUCK IS 8 YEARS OLD, BUT IT SITS MOST THE TIME AND ALMOST ALWAYS THROUGH THE WINTER. I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE OTHER CAR IN
