this truck is used year-round. Although, I did notice and abundance of salt and sand around everything under the hood. My friend plows snow in the winter with this truck. He said he cleans it frequently. Honestly, I do not believe he cleans it like I clean my BMWs, or even my tercel. I gave him a hard time about for this. I have made brake lines for numerous vehicles in the past but not a tranny line. I will check on prices tomorrow. Thanks everybody. How can lines like this rust so quickly? I have cars over 20years old that have been driven through upstate NY snow/sand/salt and still have the original tranny lines.
