problem #1

2007Nov 02

(reported on)

Ram 1500 SE 5.9L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 108,000 miles

Brake line rusted through twice. First just behind the gas tank, had that section replaced. Second, at the frame rail just under the engine. Had the whole line replaced this time, don't want to loose my brakes like that again, no warning just foot to the floor no brakes. Had to use the emergency brake to stop, and drive home.
