I bought new brakes lines for a 93 K1500 thinking I was buying a better quality brake line.
I have the front end up on jack stands and noticed the old brake lines have dry rotted rubber splitting open. Under the rubber I can see braided lines! All this time I have been thinking that factory lines were just layers of rubber/ plastic! Now, I am thinking that I might be a fool for falling for sales gimics at this piont. I can buy each brake line (AC delco gold) for about $12 and about $15 shipping, for a total of approx $51. So that is less than half of what I paid for aftermarket lines ($122).
So as the title says, are aftermarket lines a waste of money?
What do you think?
thanks
