Pro tip: check the brake lines on any 2008-2013 Ford F-150 that rolls into your bay
I was at a salvage yard near Tulsa last Thursday and noticed three different F-150s from that generation, all with rusted-out brake lines right where they run along the frame rail near the fuel tank. One of them had a line so thin you could see daylight through the corrosion. Has anyone else been seeing this on customer trucks or am I just unlucky with the junkers I find?

Man alive, seeing daylight through a brake line is something you don't forget. That's a real scary failure waiting to happen.

Quit acting like this is some kind of epidemic. I've been working on F-150s from that era for years and never seen a brake line rusted bad enough to worry about. Down here in Texas, we don't park trucks in salt slush for months so maybe it's just you northern guys who can't keep up with basic maintenance.
