It was the steel line that went. I knew that I would have the e-brake for emergency use, but that would be a last resort. With a 6000 lb truck, I'd rather be cautious than risk hurting someone.

If one flexible brake line has failed, it is a good idea to replace them all. They all went though the same amount of braking cycles.
