GM Brake Lines
Well, my brake lines finally broke (major corrosion - I am sure the fuel lines are next). I had new rubber put on the truck yesterday, got a call saying that I had a brake line leak. They left it on...

Y'all are acting like this is some NEW thing...
Brake lines have been rusting out on vehicles ever since there were brake lines. GM has only ever used cheap steel lines.
Dad's owned a 1973, a 1978, a 1989 and then a 2000. He has had a brake line failure on every single one of them, and had to replace the brake lines because they were rusted out.
Even my 2002, which as never seen road salt, had the brake lines rust out on it last year, so for you who live in Arizona and think you're safe... Think again.
Stainless brake and fuel lines should be MANDATORY.
I agree, they stainless steel should be mandatory on safety equipment, there are plenty of other places to get cheap...
The original reason for the thread was me asking if the dealer (I am a CA transplant - for another year) was going to get weird on me since I am lacking a CAT and EGR... Which is a moot point now, it is sitting at the dealer as we speak.
