On a recent trip from Chicago to Texas, my brother and I replaced the rusted
thru line leading to the rear brakes on his F*rd F-250 diesel.  The first
symptoms we noticed were the ABS light and lack of cruise control, Then we
saw the fluid leaking; fixed it in an Aut*zone parking lot in central
Illinois.
