Was traveling to the beach on vacation when I noticed a smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle. I pulled over looked under vehicle and noticed that the transmission line had rotted completely through. Once it was repaired I was shown by my mechanic how rusted through the brake lines were also. Have had the lines the lines only repaired will have to change all the lines. I have to now change the hub bearings because whenever I come to a stop at know speed the truck lunges forward.
