Geez, i swear this thread is a curse
Just on my way home from hockey comin over the braga bridge into fallriver in the never ending confuction traffic amd blew a brake line. Thank god parkin brake worked when i jumped on it swerving into the other lane to avoid the range rover in front of me cause i almost rearended a cruiser. Was able to make it off the highway into a parkin lot in fall river and left it for the nite. Hope the new tires i put on it 2 weeks ago r still on it when i go back tomorrow.

Mike- Careful where you bring it...some places are charging huge money to make new lines for it. You can buy a complete pre-bent kit for under 200 now. They now come coated and are much better. Check all the lines, once one goes (usually along the frame rail, they all go) |
Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

That is exactly what happened on my 2000 (which I got rid of). Blew a brake line and when the guys replaced it every one of the other brake lines started to blow. Replaced all with the new coated one. |
No boat, back in the suds.

Really? That's about half of what they cost on my Tahoe a month ago with the shop that I am handling the late owner's estate for...... |
