Can you take a picture of rear brake pipe on rear axle housing? 23+ only

[Kliferd The Big Red Truck]

Trying to determine if shop bent pipe doing exhaust. 23+ have a different setup vs previous. My neighbor’s 250 this part is straight but IIRC Tremors have F350 rear ends?

Yes this is nitpicky, yes the brake pipe is functionally fine. I’m leaning toward it was this way to make it line up with the holder and the bend looks too clean to be from being sloppy with exhaust work, but I feel like I remember it being straight as my buddy mangled his doing exhaust on his Denali so I checked it to see how much room was back there before taking truck in.

Here’s my 26. Appears to look the same as yours

 

[SWFLGuy]

I see a slight bend but nothing I’d get concerned about personally

Don't worry about it. You're going to bend it a little when you service the rear differential anyway. You have to bend it a bit to get the cover on/off.

I’m talking about the horizontal leg to the passenger side… yours is perfectly straight like my neighbors.

Probably just a difference in manufacturing the line or maybe got tweaked when installing it on the line. Lots of variables but the line looks very useable.

I see the bend referring to. It does give you more clearance from potential rubbing on the diff cover. I wouldn’t be concerned with it at all. You can even bend it back without issue.

Inclined to agree, but this whole thing has been tedious and why I usually do everything myself. Don’t think I could get stock stuff off in driveway without cutting.

They had good intentions but lifted truck by trans member in front and then apprentice working on it bottomed out Y-pipe bolts instead of getting fully threaded bolts or using spacers under heads, so now I’m looking at things closer.

More the merrier… bump.

I’d be more worried about that nick in the wiring harness.

I don’t see one.. where?

 

[Kliferd The Big Red Truck]

Looks like there is a lot of production variance in line and I’m misremembering that whole leg being straight on mine. Here’s a new truck showing a bend in that leg, allbeit a little different than mine.

This is why I take photos of what I am messing with. Ensures what is supposed to be on the left, stays on the left, so to speak.

my 2025 f350 platinum single rear wheel 12,400 gvwr with m-300 rear . brake line different ?

 

[OmahaBravo]

OEM CAD shows it to be straight
HOWEVER, i should add that the OEM cad file for my truck's receiver... the dims do not match some on my truck so... Like some said, could be mfg'ring differences.

 

[Poor White Boy]

clip holding brake line at very top is even different on mine. I have multiple 23 and newer trucks with both the sterling 11.6 rear and the dana m300 rear. wish I knew which option or reason for use of the 2 different rears in same trucks

Was there a sale on RTV?

lmao, first time using a milwaukee fuel 18v rtv gun

 

[The Evil Twin]

I’d compare it to my 26, but I’ve already put two offsets in it for more diff cover clearance.

I’m new to big trucks… do they really need cooling fins to live? I will tow a 24’ enclosed racecar hauler, but that’s nothing and I used to tow with a 1/2 ton.
