| I am the original owner of this 2002 chevy silverado. i was driving about 15 mph and as i started braking the pedal went to the floor. once the pedal went to the floor the truck started to brake. i was able to slowly make it home as i was only a half mile away. when i got home i inspected the under side of the vehicle and found the main rear brake line had rusted and was spilling brake fluid near the driver rear shock. after inspecting all the steel tube brake lines they all will need replacing as all are rusted very badly. | |||
