Has anyone used the Nylon coated AC Delco brake line kit? Debating this or SS lines

These WILL corrode and fail anywhere the lines vibrate and abrade (line clips, against other wires and hoses, and anywhere gravel and debris can get to). Stainless steel lines will outlast the truck many times over. GM cannot get our dollars if parts last, so they will not use stainless. Only issue with stainless is must be tightened with more force if spliced, because the material is that much stronger.

GO STAINLESS! The additional cost is minimal to the ease of mind that your kids will not have a catastrophic brake failure. GM should be forced to recall their brake lines (Honda and others used the same defective steel lines, and stood up to their failure by issuing a recall and changing the source of those brake lines.

True you got a point there with the rubbing, it still blows my mind that GM got off without doing anything, it's a ton of trucks and suv's and it's a pretty big safety issue

I second the stainless brake tubing.

X3 stainless kit. Dorman has a good kit. Reasiably priced
