| I put my truck in reverse to back out of the shop and my brake pedal went to the floor. i quickly threw it in park an turned the truck off. i then pushed the brake pedal again and it again went to the floor and i heard brake fluid squirting out. i put the truck on the lift and raised it up to inspect the issue. after doing so i found very rusted brake lines and components. after research i found this to be a very common issue with these trucks. seems maybe gm should be fixing the issue. i wouldn't think a truck less than 10 years old should have such rusted brake parts. especially since the exhaust is made from stainless, why not brake lines? *tr | |||
