Not to bash the product but all you chevy guys need to check your lines if the truck in salt use areas. Chevy even came up with a kit to replace them all they have seen so many blow out from rust.
Seems to be 8-10 years is the prime time for failure. My Chevy store does several a month.

You don't have to make them anymore. GM makes a kit pre bent with coated lines and all fittings installed. They are cheap, like 70 bucks for the whole kit. I have made tons from Cupro Nickle, but this is actually quicker and easier, and theoretically they should hold up just fine.
I just want to smack people that say this. How can people be that mechanically declined?

Just got another Chevy truck (2005 2500HD 6.0L) in 1/2 hr ago that blew a brake line.
Sounds like a coincidence with this thread right ? Not really - will probably have another come in within the week. If not, the following week.
That's how many go.
