AS I WAS BACKING UP IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKES WENT OUT ON MY 1995 CHEVY S-10 PICK-UP, 5 SPEED, 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THE METAL BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE REAR BRAKES HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS LEAKING FLUID UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR. SHOULD THESE LINES, WHICH APPEAR TO BE STAINLESS STEEL, RUST OUT? THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES. A FEW MONTHS AGO THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH LINE RUSTED THROUGH AS WELL AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO SHIFT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE INSPECTED THE REMAINING BRAKE LINES AND ANYWHERE THERE IS A CONNECTOR FITTING, THERE'S …

ABS SYSTEM ON PICKUP IS WORSE THAN NOT HAVING IT AT ALL. ABS ACTIVATES MUCH TO EARLY, CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES, EVEN ON DRY PAVEMENT WITH GENTLE BRAKING. ON DRY PAVEMENT, A SIMPLE EXPANSION JOINT, MANHOLE, OR ANY PAVEMENT IRREGULARITY CAN CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE, AND KEEPING THE TRUCK DRIVING STRAIGHT IS DIFFICULT. ON WET PAVEMENT, ANY PAVEMENT STRIPE, MANHOLE, OR PAVEMENT IRREGULARITY WILL CAUSE ABS TO ACTIVATE, STOPPING DISTANCES DOUBLE. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON SNOW, I CAN'T DRIVE THE TRUCK IN THE SNOW, IT WON'T STOP. T…

RATTLE / BUZZING FROM CSFI FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, 4.3L V6, ENGINE CODE X. THE INLET AND RETURN LINES BUZZ WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING, REGARDLESS OF RPM. SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING LOOSE UNDER THE IP / DASH IN THE INTERIOR COMPARTMENT. I TRACED THE SOUND TO THE FUEL LINES, WHERE THEY ARE MOUNTED TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE HARD LINES ENTER THE REAR OF THE CSFI UNIT AND THE BUZZING EMANATES FROM THIS POINT. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AS WELL. THE NOISE IS WORST ON A COLD ENGINE AND / OR WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE …
