i've been havin brake issues ever since i did the pads and rotors, namely, lack of pedal pressure.

bleeding the brakes to day at work, i blew a line,

the one thats like 20 feet long,
the one that...

At least it's good to see you have a positive attitude. Dodge uses stainless exhaust, you'd think they'd do the brake lines stainless to.

stainless brake lines are sooo bloody expensive it's be a waste,
luckly for me, this is the only line that was not replaced by a previous owner?

and part of the reason for the positive attitude is the fact that it took roughly ten pumps of the pedal to blow out, If i were driving home, ten pumps puts me at a busy *** intersection.

besides, lifes to short to be cranky.
i just wish i could afford to get stainless lines right now, i will whenever i do rear dics

add
my exaust isn't stainless, hence why it rusted off.

took bout 2 hours to replace the line, i did it at work so that includes "mandatory" coffe breaks and all that
got the poly coated line, good stuff, you can bend it with your hands, my new 35-0 is about a truck length, better than when i first got it

Yeah, I've heard that the front brake hoses go out on the second gens too often for comfort, so check them when you can and replace them often.
