1997 tahoe with a corvette engine, needs brake system overhaul
 

Hey everyone
I have a tahoe that needs and total overhaul of its brake system. Talking clearance sale everything must go. First guy told me that it was going to be around $6,000 and I just can't see that. Just looking for some direction here or if it's time to part it out.
Thanks

Why does it need a whole new brake system? whats the problem with the current system?

The guy said it was contaminated and ate all the seals away. What fluid would do that to the brakes ?

''Bump ''

I think you need a second opinion on this one. I never heard of such a thing as brake fluid eating all the seals. Is it leaking, does it have an issue stopping, whats the exact nature of the problem?

Generally if you want to redo it all:
-Calipers
-Front and rear lines
-Rear wheel cylinders
-Master cylinder

That ought to run you buying parts from the parts store about 500 bucks or less.
