What's the rear end active braking house for?

If you have active braking there are two brake lines going to the rear end they feed into this then go to each rear wheel, the two brake lines are rusty not gonna get any better so figured I'd replace this while I'm in there cause who knows how old it is and for $35 I'd rather be safe then sorry and blow the hoses

I took a look at the stainless steel line blocks that attach to the abs, you don't even want to know what those look like. 0.0. Hopefully they last till tax season cause they are getting replaced, along with my leaky oil cooler lines

Oh damn my driver side front brake line was pretty bad, take a look at these lines or line on yours there tucked along the frame rail & gas tank it's most likely in pretty bad shape and you can't even see the whole line the ends I see are pretty scary looking, I did the oil cooler & tranny cooler lines last fall get AC Delco if you can

How hard was it to do? Did you replace it with braided line like some others have?

For the front brake lines? I've got SS braided brake hoses at each wheel & with the exception of the two brake lines to the rear end all the other lines are new I forget what the shop used they won't rust but they bend easier then SS lines the front lines they replaced look mint after the winter

Looking good friend! The Texas editions would be a unique look. You'd definitely have a one of a kind caddy on here as I've never seen another caddy with those wheels. Lol. I have q seen a couple nbs caddies for sale online that were riding in nnbs platinum edition wheels, the ones with the split spoke and darker colored wheel. Thats a bitchin look, but I'm sure those wheels would probably cost your soul to finance..... Lol

Thanks, the Platinum rims look great too there was someone selling a clean set for $800 with 50% tread left was gonna get them but they were gone in a few hours lol, I think I'm gonna throw some Nitto 420s tires on and keep them till I do the drop and do bigger rims then (mostly likely late this year)
