THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD FAILED AND THIS RESULTED IN THE HYDRO BOOST FAILURE WITH SUBSEQUENT BRAKE LOSS.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY AND COMPLETELY LOST ALL BRAKES AND COULD NOT STOP. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. A BRAKE LINE BLEW. ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES ARE COMPLETELY ROTTED.THIS VEHICLE ISN'T EVEN 10 YEARS OLD YET. THE FUEL LINE AND BRAKE LINES ARE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS TRUCK IS A 2500 AND I USE IT FOR TOWING TRAILERS IF THAT BRAKE LINE WENT WHILE TOWING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE ENTIRE UNDERNEATH OF THIS TRUCK IS SO RUSTED THE FRAME BRAKE LINE AND FUEL LINES ARE TERRIBLE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED FROM GM'S CHEAP STEEL. *TR
