STERLING STINGER Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 after working on alt and ps pump all day, i had my buddy pull my truck up to put the plow on. he said "your pedal just went to the floor, and your dummy light is on"...... :eek: I'm not sure which line it is, but it is up under the gas tank on the drivers side I'm just gonna bypass tomorrow, but still....crazy right? good thing it just happened in the garage and not on the road during a storm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueXJ Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You can run it wherever you want it is over the tank to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think you should take it to a professional mechanic, and have it done right! :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 He just might get the gas-brake lines switched. Now that just might be interesting. :popcorn: please explain so i don't :bowdown: The fuel lines run parallel with the brake lines on the frame rail... and they're virtually identical, especially when they're covered with rust. I was amazed when I was under the 99 today putting in the proper linkage, and the fuel line had a tag on it that said: FUEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Trace them back. Two will go to the gas tank... the two won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Unfortunately that was a problem just waiting to happen. :( our brake lines typically die first up next to the gas tank where moisture is more likely to stick around and it's hard to get a hose up there to remove salt. I ran a new one essentially straight back to the rear axle in my 88 (bypassing the prop valve in the process). :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I had the same thing happen to me, in the driveway NOT on the road. GOOD THING!!! I was able to swap out the line fairly easily, but mine went in the summertime, so warmth was on my side.. sorry man, CW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
