There is no damage to the brake line, its configured that way, i will post pics whenever i get my truck back. But when u see the pics, its completely clear from everything else, its just rubbing against that clamp...jeeps had a similar issue but they addressed it with a recall.

Turn your steering wheel all the way to the left, follow the brake line that cones from the passanger side engine compartment to a connecting point that your brake lines attatch to. You will see that one of the alum lines are right by what seems to be an axle boot? But there is a metal clamp to secure that boot that rubs right against it.

I am still waiting on my truck, they gave me no info at all as to what they will or will not cover.

they did identify a crack in the condensor from what they told me, which is totally different from what they mentioned in Vegas. i looked at the crack, and i dont see signs of a rock that could have it it in that location, its like a horizontal crack. the end of the condensors are plastic, which is beyond me why they are plastic, but they are. i am not sure if it is a stress crack or whatever the case is, i have yet to hear back if this is even covered. I a, done with this warranty bull**** with this truck, i dont have enough hands or toes to count how many times i have brought this truck in for problems. this was a normal road trip...and unless it was the magic bullet that killed kennedy, i dont know how that crack could have occurred.

they also tried installing another TSB for my tranny? i still get that sledge hammer effect when it shifts, and they didnt tell me anything on my brake line.

i am torn on keeping this truck, i need something dependable and safe, especially with my new family addition coming into the scene. i always thought this truck will be more dependable than my previous F150, but im starting to think otherwise.

Thank you for the kind words, and congrats on your retirement! i cant wait for the day to say i am retired, and done..till then its the grind.

Got the phone call I have been waiting for! They called to tell me my extended warranty is cutting the bill for the condenser, as there is no proof of any road damage.

I still need to take it in for the brake line. The new tranny fix is ok I guess, only time will tell considering they just installed it in.

Still no idea why the condenser cracked, didn't do any offroading, just all Hwy driving during my trip to CA.

Here is the pic of the brake line rubbing against the clamp, I handed out some incorrect info, but turn your steering wheel all the way to the right, then check on the passenger side in from the front of the tire, it's hard to see considering it was done with my iPhone, but as you can see, i wrapped rescue tape around the line to provide a cushion, thats so i dont have any metal on metal contact. I would seriously check it as soon as possible to make sure you don't have any abnormal wear on your brake line, and most of all they will fix it on their dime.

I just checked, and the brake line on my truck is about an inch away from the clamp. Thanks for the heads up though!
