Rear Brake Line Broke

[monkers]

I have a 2003 2500HD ext cab 4x4 gas, the rear brake line above the gas tank broke. Does anyone make a replacement, pre bent line or do I have to get 1/4" line and try to copy the bends my self? Looks like it will be a chore. Thanks

There has been a lot of problems with brake lines in that year. Feds Investigating brake failures Not sure if it ever turned into a recall.

 

As for a source, you can get them here Inline Tube

Well, couldnt find local pre-bent line, so I cobbed one up myself.......its a pain in the ass getting it out and getting new one in......got it in there, started bleeding the brakes, guess what, another line is now leaking. One of the lines coming out of the "junction box" or abs box, under the cab, the line runs to the front of the truck, another great spot to try to get to......ugh...

I looked up the Inline Tube place, lots of complaints about them and the lines fitting etc.....thank you for the link though. May just take it to someone now, sick of this thing......

My buddy went through the same problem with his 2002 2500 Avalanche.

Have done complete brake lines on two trucks so far. The first was a GMC Sierra 1500 4wd and the second was a 2001 2500 4wd. About to do an 01 Suburban, then an 01 Tahoe, and then my 04 2500 HD. Used Classic Tube online. They use all stainless steel brake lines and are bent exactly to factory specs. Can be a bit of a challenge to put in but the end result will fit exact. Never have to worry about them again. Also did my fuel lines on the 01 while I was under there. Can be had complete from GM with all the clips and lines loomed together with the fuel filter and everything for just over $120.00. Peace of mind.
