its still leaking, the actual problem is when i use my brakes all that happens is a whoosh sound then once the brakes are almost to the floor they kick in and its like im slamming them they still work just very inneffective and ive been driving my girlfriends noma everywhere (least i didnt have to get too far away from my truck:))

i'm saying you broke a brake line..... whatever you do, dont attempt to fix it with a compression fitting! Compression fittings are not designed to withstand the pressure of the braking system.... the only proper way to fix it is to replace whatever line has broken in full.

BTW, nice wheels!

your truck looks like whiter, less beat up version of mine! i say we form an army of people with first gen, shortbox, regular cabs with RS wheels (we'll let Ray in too, he has the IROC's) and we'll take over the world!

Not that this will fix your problem at hand but pour is spelled pour, not poor.. poor is something people are when they have no money & is also a way to describe how crappy some people do things, like spell, too. :)

did you bleed the system properly when you replaced the rear parts?
