Driving home from a camping trip pulling 30ft 5th wheel , pushed on brake pedal to slow down & pedal went almost to the floor , pulled over & found brake line leaking under master cylinder on top of frame rail , repaired line to get home , upon inspection of brake lines, they are very weak, since then ive had to fix 2 more brake lines, luckily not pulling anything ,I have friends with these same trucks & inspected theres & also look the same,1 friend took his to dealership & they told him that this is normal? I feel they did not use the correct kind of metal when producing these vehicles brake lines . I work in the service field & have never seen brake lines rot the way these trucks do , these trucks are bought for pulling & a lot of them on the road, so I was hoping you could look into this matter for safety reasons. Thank you.
