After replacing 70% or so of my trucks brake hydraulic system, I have now got a better understanding of the weakest link. While at a fast food joint ordering food I noticed the brake peddle drop to the floor.
Furious and in a bad mood for the rest of Saturday, I could not have been a good person to be around.
Originally the leak appeared to be at a new line I had installed 3 years ago. I had all brake hoses replaced with Stainless Steel Russell lines. Being braided SS these hoses should out last the truck. On inspection the Russell's hoses were not leaking. It appears that the hard-line from the ABS unit to the rear axle has become week and as a result the increased pressure in the system created a hole.
I hope this can be fixed today. Nothing scarier than a brake peddle dropping to the floor in a truck weighing over 6200 lbs.
