rear line blew out

[smitty612]

i have an 02 yukon denali. Today the rear brake line decided it could take no more. I have to give it some credit. 15 years of Minnesota winters and 350,000 miles is pretty good. Im glad i moved to the keys because id be fixing it in 5 degree weather right now. instead im fixing it in 75 degree weather. anyway, i joined to see if there are any good pre bent lines everyone prefers. I have a tube bender, I have to get a double flare tool but am capable of doing it myself. just wondering if there is an affordable pre bent. money is an issue so ill most likely be bending it myself. i also would like to address, since i am here a howl that comes at about 15 mph to anything higher weather the drive train is under load or not. curious if its common and if anyone knows how to go about stopping it

You need to figure out if you have JL4 or not (Active brake control) two rear hardlines rather than one.


For JL4 ACDELCO

X2 on the Dorman ones heard nothing but good things about them, only thing with them is the fittings aren't SS just the lines should still hold up pretty good tho

Adam, welcome to the forum and good that you can do the brake lines. Should be good to go with info OP have suggested.
As for the noise, I'd look @ the rear end, especially the Pinion bearing. JMHO and good luck.

Welcome......
Common issue with several solutions. I used the pre bent lines from the dealer. Came with everything including fittings and are coated so should last the life of the truck. Best part they were about $110 total.
