Rusted brakelines have rendered my truck useless until repairs can be afforded because i sure cant get to the abs to unscrew the back brake line ! Beside the fact that one would think a 9 year old truck's brake line would be the last thing to worry about, the rocker panels that will cost 5-6 thousand to fix according to maco have also failed and have rusted away to near nothing.
