SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL, WENT TO FLOOR, NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED. I INVESTIGATED TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS, THE ENTIRE LINE FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE BACK IS BADLY CORRODED, ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE LINE COMING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER (ENEN THE COUPLING IS CORRODED). THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A CHEMICAL REACTION OCCURRING BETWEEN METALS. I HAD THIS HAPPEN IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH NO SPEED, USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP TRUCK, IF THIS HAD BEEN A NORMAL STOP (E.G., A STOP IN TRAFFIC, IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS PENDING FAILURE.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
I HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN MY F250 DIESEL RUNS AT 1200-1500RPM, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO SHUTTER AND LOADS UP. IT SOMETIMES SEEMS TO START TO STALL OUT AND LOSE POWER. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT SIX TIMES AND CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE CHANGES THE EXHAUST SENSOR AND REMAP THE COMPUTER WITH NO LUCK. THEY HAVE TEST DRIVEN THE TRUCK AND HAD THE PROBLEM OCCUR. THE VEHICLE IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE LOSE OF POWER IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE REAREND COLLISONS BECASUE OF THE PROBLEM. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAS ADVISED ME TO KEEP DRIVING IT AT MY RISK. HOPING TO FIND A FAULT CODE.
