Imo you got ripped off 270.00 to install a wheel cylinder thats crazy. I changed a 98 dakota wheel cylinders each took about 10 min. The only time I will take my truck to a garage is to get it inspected thats it.

idk, my truck hasnt been in a shop that charges in 4 years,
you say the trucks been sitting for 2 years?
thats a problem, brakes rust, its a nasty habit but they do, if they werent doing their job i might worry about it, but a squeal after sitting like that is completely normal,
why did you need new brake line? were they that rusted? that should be the only reason they'd need replaced

and x3 on the wheel cylinders
