| Backed out of driveway and brake pedal felt soft. got to end of street and suspecting a problem began slowing early. brake pedal went to the floor with very little pressure and very little stopping power. went back to house and found a large puddle of brake fluid where the truck had been sitting. opened the hood to look at brake reservoir and found it empty but also realized all hard brake lines in view were heavily corroded and crusted. leak was from burst hard line below driver. all hard lines are heavily crusted and corroded near the point of failure if not already failed. some fuel lines also corroded. *tr | |||
