Description of the problem | It was early in the morning , my brother and i were backing up the truck to attach the boat for towing. He was backing up my truck while i guided him back towards the hitch of the boat. We got the boat hitch attached to the truck and i asked him if he wanted to drive . Thank god he refused to drive, once i got in the truck , i applied my brakes before putting the truck in drive and noticed that the brake peddle went all the way to the ground without any resistance. I looked underneath my truck and noticed brake fluid leaking out from a rusted brake line going to the rear tire . I would hate to think of what could have happened on the highway with a boat behind me????? I have photos of the rusted brake line that broke . I also have seen some rust on the remaining brake lines now and am worried about the the condition of those lines. |
