This is the first time I've had to replace brake lines, and I'm 55 and owned dozens of vehicles, some of which were over 15 years old, including a '92 CK1500 which I had for over 10 years. This '04 Silverado under discussion blew a line out a half mile from my house, and thankfully I live in a fairly rural area, and was able to limp home using the emergency brake. My mechanic replaced all the lines, as they were all so corroded they could have blown any time. A case of inferior metal to save on manufacturing costs, an unconscionable decision on GM's part, as this is going to lead to unnecessary injuries and death eventually and maybe already. Stainless steel brake lines should be made mandatory for all automotive applications, regardless of the cost. If GM makes no move to rectify this issue, and there innumerable cases of this problem out there, this will be my last GM vehicle.
