“I have a 1996 Ford f-250 heavy duty pickup which I purchased new and all the brake lines are completely rusted through. I was testing the brakes after adjusting them in front of my house when the pedal went to the floor. All the fluid was blown out of the rusted line on the front brakes, after I repaired them and was bleeding the air from them, while holding down on the pedal another line on the rear brakes blew out. In short, I spent 10 hrs. Replacing all the brake lines that were rusted out. I have older cars and trucks and have never had this issue before. …”
