Had the brake line running from the ABS module to the rear brakes blow out on my 2002 F250. The lines going to the front brakes still look great, the rear one looks like it tried to explode on both sides of the flex hose. I've got it replaced but curious why the rear might have done this and the front lines are fine? Anything that could be going on with the rear brakes to cause this?
Suggest you replace the front tubes ASAP, they're likely in no better shape.
I had a '95 GMC 2500 years back, rear brake line blew while driving home one day, got home safely. Replaced the rear brake line (all of it) because it was rusted really badly the whole length. Got it back on the road, was moving a trailer for my dad about 2 weeks later and the fronts blew - when your fronts go you have basically NO brakes. We ended up doing those in his garage after we babied it up there.
Nothing going on there, just age. I had one blow on the boat ramp with the pedal going to the floor. Ended up having a buddy tow my boat home. I broke the line off and crimped it with vice grips to get the truck home. The rear lines are exposed to more of the road dirt, salt, sand, etc., especially the line along the axle. The rear should need changed out way before the front. Inspect them every year and change the fluid every so often.
Reading the complaint and seeing the year I too immediately said "AGE". I have a 2002 F-250 also and replace the rear lines 2 years ago. Fronts are good. 241,000 great miles..
