 Had corroded fuel lines replaced. mechanic stated that brake lines looked in bad shape and suggested they be replaced also. had limited usage of my truck while i looked into having them replaced. on one occasion i was approaching a stop sign with my wife in truck, as i went to stop, line ruptured, pedal went to floor and i came close to going through stop sign in front of oncoming car. i replace the line since it was easy, and now on 7/8/2003 two more lines have ruptured. *tr
