I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1999 CHEVROLET 2500 SILVERADO TRUCK. WHILE BACKING UP TO HOOK UP A HORSE TRAILER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES SUDDENLY WERE UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK PROPERLY. THE TRUCK WAS THEN DRIVEN TO A DEALER FOR REPAIR USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE TRUCK HAD 106,255 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AT THAT TIME. THE DEALER REPLACED A BRAKE LINE. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 OTHER BRAKE LINE FAILURES I WILL LIST SEPARATELY. ONE IN 2006 AND CURRENTLY ONE IN 2010. *TR
