My 2012 F-150's brake line blew out on the highway near Bakersfield last Tuesday.
I was driving back from a job and the pedal went straight to the floor, so I had to use the parking brake and downshift to get off the road. I had to replace the whole section from the master cylinder to the rear axle with a new 3/16 line and double flare the ends. Has anyone found a better way to protect new lines from road salt besides just the basic wrap?

Honestly, that basic wrap is probably fine for most people. A lot of folks overthink this and spend money on fancy coatings that just trap moisture underneath anyway. Road salt is bad, but the real killer is just time and wear, not much you can do to stop that forever.
