Buh-Bye Paycheck...
Haha. 15 miles.... 75 miles... my test drive was kinda long. Thanks, though. I'll make him check them today.
Nothin wrong with that, gotta make sure they're working.
So tonight, I left work, came to a stoplight... and hit the brakes.... and pedal hit the floor. Truck is now (thanks to my lovely fiancee following me) sitting at a local shop, I blew my brake lines. Yes, LINES. Both. And he's not wiling to fix it and I don't have the knowledge to do it. Says he isn't willing to drop the gas tank. So we're waiting to see how much this places says they'll charge.
But I guess, I can kiss my paycheck Thursday good-bye.

Oooooo Been there!!! Its a cheap an easy fix even if you do have to drop that monsterous plastic tank LOL!! That was the easy part took like 10 min if that. My suggestion is go out spray all the fittings with your favorite rust loosenerupper stuff. Respray for like a day every so often come back tomorrow cut the lines you are replacing use a 6 pt socket and remove. I redid them all its up to you how much to replace just inspect them all. Then go buy a roll of brake line (under 20 dollars) some fittings (maybe 1 dollar a piece) or some of the lines you can buy short pieces with fittings already then just bend (less than 5 dollars). My Autozone let me borrow a flaring tool which after I decided to buy but you don't have to (30 dollars). Took me a couple of hours, 30 dollars maybe for parts and 30 for a pretty new tool... Just a thought
Feels real smart this was an old post given new life ..... LOL Oooooooooops my bad

There were like three different sizes from what I remember when doing mine. There were couple of odd sizes on the check valve and pump manifold. I found it best to take them with me so I didn't have to keep going back...
