Got a truck yesterday!

These things must have an issue with the brake lines. I have a 2000 silverado 4.8 liter that needs inspection, the brake lines are rusty as hell but not leaking yet so will still pass inspection. Rocker panels are all but gone, leaks water down the door jams into the cab, and the windshield seal leaks a little from the top. Aside from that, she runs like a champ.



Had a buddy with a 2001 2500 6 liter that looked beautiful, had the same rusted brake lines that he didn't discover till he jammed on the brakes one time when a dumbarse whitetail jumped in front of him and they burst, lost all pressure to the brakes. Scary but he avoided the deer.

The mechanic said the brake lines were a VERY common problem with these trucks. Honestly, after doing some research, I'm surprised there hasn't been a recall on them.

But...I should have my truck back in a couple of hours And that's great because I just landed a BIG job for Monday. $$$
