*laughin* im sittin here readin stuff about people's trucks and i came across something about a brakeline leak or break. i had to laugh. For those of you who know what my truck looks like, the beast had its problem with brakes. last summer i was taking my hazmat class and i went out for break and i went to stop at a light, needless to say my foot went to the floor. i didnt freak out, i still had my E-Brake pedal to hit. i didnt need it though, i stopped the truck fine. i get back to Station 1 and i dont have time to deal with it. i think i noticed a puddle on the ground behind the left rear tire, but i ignore it. i finish up with class, go to my grandpas just to see if he has any brake fluid, he's not there so i have to go to the farm to find him. i come out and i see an even bigger puddle on the pavement behind the left rear and now i notice that the whole side of the bed has the same stuff on it. i wipe it up with my finger and right away i knew what it was...brake fluid. i went up to the farm and i already knew that the cylinder was leaking, but the guys didnt believe me...silly boys. but yea needless to say me, my dad, and my grandpa spent the whole next day working on the brakes. there's the story on that. dont have to mention last year about the radiator leaking then finally crappin out. ahh gotta love the beast, it just wont die..
