    Break Line Leak?

    I had it serviced over a month ago and the cap was on tight. They did leave the radiator fluid reservoir open one time so I am well aware of their short comings.

    Break Line Leak?

    As indicated above, it is also moist in the engine bay in the same area where the brake fluid is. I am thinking that is likely the culprit. Two final questions: 1. I know it depends, but how costly may the fix be? 2. Could an accident where my after-market bumper took 90 plus percent of the...

    Break Line Leak?

    I think you are probably right. Upon further inspection the leak seems to be coming from the twisted line pictured here in the second pic. This line leads to the break reservoir and there is additional moisture in this are via the engine bay. The moisture is also consistent with what I see in...

    Break Line Leak?

    Lesson: Never text a pic from your car when the sun is in your eyes and your a bit stressed about something. In short, yes I am a moron ... brake. :) Yes its the line that is attached to the upper control arm and the line seems to go up to the brake fluid under the hood. The levels are full...

    Break Line Leak?

    Per the pic, is this the break line that is leaking? Likely related to the accident I was in about a month ago.

    CVJ Axles

    Does anyone have any opinions on these? I have gone through 3 CV boots in just under two years and am looking at options in the likely event it happens again. I know these folks also make the boots themselves, but will try these axles if those fail too. I do have a 3 inch Toytec lift with a...

    Steel vs. Aluminum bumpers

    In my mind it depends on the severity of the damage and how it was caused. If damage is done to a bumper and it needs to be repaired, it may be best/safest just to get a new one. In the event of an accident, most insurance companies will cover it.

    Steel vs. Aluminum bumpers

    For aluminum it depends who you go with. My Hefty Fabworks aluminum front bumper is super strong and well made. I got into an accident several weeks ago where some moron fish-tailed in front of me due to ice and he hit me with the bed of his truck. I was going about 30 mph during impact plus...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    Got into a wreck last night as some moron thought it was a great idea to do 60MPH plus on ice. He fish tailed in front of me and my after-market bumper did a great job protecting me and my son. It also absorbed most of the impact and did minimal damage to the truck. We wound up in a deep ditch...
