| I was driving and tried to apply the brakes. the brake pedal went completely to the floor and i had no brakes. i applied the emergency brake to get the vehicle stopped. i found the main brake line going to the rear axle had blown. after further investigation, i found every one of the brake lines coming off of the abs block to be completely deteriorated/rusted. every brake line on the vehicle will need to be replaced. it was also noted that the fuel lines are not rusted. there is obviously a difference in the metal used at the time. also should be noted, that there was no indication or warning from the vehice when this happened. i brake resevoir was not completely drained when the line blew. | |||
