1 Brake Fluid Leak problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2011

Truck: 2004 Chevrolet silverado 2500hd, 6. 6l diesel. Location: upstate NY problem: while testing the brakes before towing a trailer, the pedal pushed completely to the floor and brake fluid poured to the ground from under the drivers side door. Upon inspection of the brake lines, it showed one of the lines on the frame rail had severe corrosion and had burst. All of the brake fluid drained out of the master cylinder through this broken line. I checked the operation of the brakes after the broken line to see if I had any ability to stop the vehicle. This was not the case as the brakes would not even stop the vehicle from moving at an idle. If this had occurred at operating speeds, especially while towing, I would have not been able to stop the vehicle. Currently the truck is at a repair facility to have the lines replaced and system checked.
