Sealant on stainless brake lines
.I'm installing stainless brake lines in my 1994 f-150.I've never installed SS lines before.Is it necessary to use a thread sealant or no.I've done regular steel lines in the past and didn't use sealant and had no problems.So,I'm not sure what to do.Thank You

Ask the manufacturer.

NO, you do NOT use thread sealant.... brakes dont seal by threads. They seal by the flare of the fitting. If there is no flare, they use copper crush washers like on the caliper hoses.
