I think I've read somewhere along the way that some folks went with the stainless steel lines from summitt. Supposedly they flex less and provide a firmer pedal feel.
Just had one blow on me a few weeks ago. Cheap part but a bit hard to locate for the 2wd dually one ton as it seems specific to that model. Cheap, but had to wait a day to get it. Cost me a caliper as well as the bleeder was rusted and seized beyond hope.
The ABS unit is a PITA to bleed when you get air in it...took a while to finally get my pedal back after replacing the hose.
I just purchased a 96 GMC K3500 that the previous owner failed to tell me was sitting for quite some time. Said it needed a rear brake job, well it needed a complete overhaul. Truck is on jack stands, waiting for Goodridge SS lines to come in and than once those are installed I need to replace the hard flex line that runs parallel to rear axle to each wheel cylinder. I am going to try this NICO tube which is better than stainless and easier to bend. Cheap IMO. GRRRR
I have been looking for stainless braided lines for my flex hose's, but have not found any application for the 3500 dual wheel. If any one comes across any place that offers them, please let me know.
I may message them on ebay and see what they say about them fitting a 2000 model. I cant imagine that gm would of changed them for the last year of that body style.
Any luck? Just got my SS lines and looking good. Hopefully installing them Saturday. I dont have a tech2 so, I will see how the pedal is after we bleed em.
