- Check Out All The Brake Problems Due To Corrosion - Many GM truck based vehicles are having brake problems due to corrosion. Search for your year make and model at this link. This is not safe. All GM had to do was use stainless lines or run the non-stainless lines inside the frame. Chevy 2003 2500HD trucks have a recall on frame corrosion as well. Recall now!

The brake line went, approaching stop light. Luckily, there was enough pedal to stop vehicle. I bought pre-bent stainless steel lines and replaced them myself as Chevy dealership where I originally bought the truck wanted $1500 to replace them. I could never get the lines bled completely, so I took it to a garage where it cost me $285 to have try fix the brakes.
They said there was no air in the lines. Brakes are no better after they worked on it. Also the abs pump started running continuously and smoked when I turned on ignition, so I had to pull the abs fuse in order to stop it. Been a Chevy man all of my 76 years, but I won't own another one.
