I had a close call today, a small suv pulled out a bit close in front of me and i had to slam on the avalanche brakes. I hit the pedal hard and suddenly it went straight to the floor. If the other car had not continued over into the lane beside me, I'd have rear ended him.
It looks like the hard line ruptured on the drivers rear where it goes up the frame over the rear wheel. I can't see it, but thats where all the brake fluid is pouring from. I am going to have it towed to a shop monday. They are going to use Ni-copp line.
I hate to think what would have happened if i had been towing. My travel trailer has electric brakes, but that would be asking a lot of them to stop the tt and the 5800lb truck.
