So I was on the way home today and stopping and I hear phisssss, blew front brake line. The one from the master to the brake hose on the left side, so all new calipers, hoses and brake lines for both sides. Good news is, I have all new brake lines on the whole truck. I knew the other ones were getting bad so oh well. Tried not to put calipers but bleaders on old ones were non existant. So I fig id do it all.

Sucks man... But at the end of the day you'll know everything is NEW and that's a good feeling, knowing you don't have to worry about it.

Hell with the new engine, tranny, tcase, etc... You've got a brand new damned truck :rofl:

Flex pipe is not leaking, its header gasket. Mustang will sit. And I dont have a 3/4 ton, I got a real 1 ton, they dig them. Yea it stoppes.

I hate header gaskets. My F150 has an exaust leak. I have replaced the gaskets with the metal ones and they still leak. I am begaining to think that I have a warped header.

Did you get metal header gaskets or aluminuminuminum?I was told by an engine builder of mine that it wouldn't hurt to double em up.....I have yet to add those ones to my headers ...but I got a trade pending on some brand new hooker supercomp LT's......50 bucks and a old boat...hells yea.

I plan on doubling them up. The reason that I haven't yet is because it is the passanger side and it is a PITA.

Its easy enough, you only notice it when ur next to something. I have the thick alumaseal ones on the left side, and the thin ones on the right side, still have the other one I can throw in, just wasnt leaking at the time. Ill get to it 1 day.
