ran over a bush, bent a brake line....

[Corb@CorbinShipping]

What a pain in the azz.... I ran over a bush in my front yard 2 days ago, while I was situating my RV. Then I parked my rig, and went inside for the night. No big deal. The next day, yesterday, I notices a squealing noise from under the front end. Sounded like sand in my brakes... But then, upon inspection, I saw the front brake line, on the drivers side frame rail, was pulled out of it's retainer, and was sitting against the front wheel drive shaft... It looked as if the drive shaft was on a lathe, and i cut several grooves in it. The brake lines were bent, and now had a hole worn in it, and was pumping brake fluid on the driveway...SUMBITCH..... So, back to the dealership, and some brake line repair going on tomorrow... Had to get the upfitter switches installed anyhow... good thing I have a few extra rigs laying around! LOL
