Last summer after pulling our 31 foot camper back from vacation I noticed that I was leaking brake fluid in our drive way. I was glad that we made it home with no incident. We have not used the truck sense that time .I looked under the truck only to see all my brake lines corroded and leaking. They offer aftermarket brakes in stainless steel lines. Why don't all the automotive companies put the stainless lines on there vehicles. It can't be that much more for peace of mind.
