      EVERY TUBING LINE, brake, trans, fuel, power steering.....charge us the 100.00 extra up front and make them all SS. Nobody should have to replace any of the lines that were the first thing that came down the assembly line on the frame. The only time they should have to be replaced is if they are damaged in a accident.

    I replaced all mine. It took a few hours but I just disconnected and removed old ones. I paid attention to where they came from and snaked the new ones into place. I had a helper and bought a kit I had to bend myself. Are they exact where and how the old ones were? No, but they are secure. I did a standard bleed with a helper pumping the brake pedal. It’s doable if your mechanically inclined!

    I just replaced all the lines on my 2000 silverado using the Doorman stainless kit. I didn't use a scan tool to bleed the system, and everything works fine. It took a long time to bleed everything with a helper, but we got it done. GM's use of shitty steel in these trucks is criminal. You probably should have replaced those gnarly flex hoses on the front calipers, but yeah...this jobs sucks.

    Here's another tip. On my 2000 Silverado, the one-piece backing plates on the rear disc-brakes rotted off also. In order to install new one-piece plates, you have to pull the axle! Fuck that noise. Doorman (?) makes a two-piece plate you can install without pulling the axle! I got mine at Autozone.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge - great video! I wish the local shops in my area would be thorough in troubleshooting and repairing: I just had a brake line puncture in my 2005 GMC Sierra 1500: brake fluid would disperse inside the engine compartment as if it was a garden hose mister whenever I hit the brake pedal. I didn't drive the truck after the instant I noticed my brake pedal was hitting the floorboard: I got on to the repair job as soon as I could within two-(2) weeks. If you were told by a auto repair shop "we have to replace two brake lines; the first the brake line that had the puncture and the second line because it comes off as a pair from the master cylinder" - How much do you think the cost of repair with labor cost? I will tell you the final cost of repair job when I have to return tomorrow; however, I am not happy with the price that I was told via the "Authorization telephone call" and the fact that they only did a "6 to 8 inch patch-job" unless they adjust the price because I did not see two new brake lines.

    Maybe confusion about the furthest wheel bleed first. I believe its the right front wheel longest line to the ABS module under the drivers seat area(newer chevy trucks and suburbans) As apposed to the right rear wheel on most all other vehicals.
    Also some yukons and Avalanche have 1/4inch lines. the "stabilitrak" system has 2 rear lines. Special flair fittings. I use the old flair fittings because they are 2 different size threads.
    I know right !🤕🆘🙈💣. You will only MAYBE find those 4 flairs at a dealership.

      Run the rear line from the back left tire/caliper. Make sure it runs up and over the frame or you will have trouble. Take a finger and hook into the hooked area of the line and carefully pull it through. Be absolutely patient and don't extend out the natural curvature of the line.

      Bends are really tight around the ABS module. Buy the kit. The dorman I got was actually stainless and cheaper than if I was to DIY it with NiCu. Even though the OEM's is now coated your likely gonna scratch the hell out of it routing it along the frame so not worth it IMO. Trickiest part is I think I spent more time researching which kit to buy than it took to install them.

    Same problem with my Silverado 1500HD. over $700 to replace lines, and was told that my transmission and fuel lines were rusting also. I never drive in snow or salted roads, my truck stays in driveway during adverse weather. This rust is because GM buys cheap chinese made steel lines and tubing. I will never again purchase a GM product. I see the same problems as I had with my old 1994 Silverado, same problems with Heating and Air Conditioning electronic sensors going bad, heater comes on when Air is selected, sounds like a diverter door is activating quite often, headliner is coming down, Truck bed is rusting apart, this is pure junk costing far too much. I still have a 1969 AMC car that has less rust and problems. GM should be ashamed, but they got my money this time, never again.
