hey on a similar vein to the gas tank straps, our 2001 chevy tahoe lost its brakes the other day. 180K miles, spent 3 yrs in dry california, and the rest in chicago suburbs. They went out immediately, and we lost control of the car, <span style="font-weight: bold">we got very lucky</span>. One of the rusted lines blew out mid section that sat on the frame.

I am on day 3 of replacing 4 of the crispy lines and I am replacing the hoses to the calipers. <span style="font-weight: bold">The originals I could just grab with a glove and rip off the frame and they came off in pieces, they were that brittle</span>.

If you have a GM 2000-2001 vehicle, check your lines for scaling.
The old rusty 71 cuda I used to have, had better brake lines than this dam tahoe!
