ESOF fix

The people on the FTE forums are the best.

After reading about someone else's problems with their ESOF I followed a link that was published in the thread and arrived at:
http://www.dieselsite.com/1999-2004f250f350dieselsite4wdesofhosekit.aspx

What I thought was a little pricey, turned out to be a very high quality answer to my problem. The parts showed up in only a few days and took a total of 15 minutes to install. Now my ESOF works perfectly, and with quite a bit of authority. To say the least, I'm quite disappointed in Ford's choice of garbage vacuum lines used in an area (the front wheel wells) that is exposed to the worst that can come off the front wheels.

I highly recommend dieselsite.com. Thanks to you guys on the FTE forums.

I still feel the swap to Warn Premium or Milemarker hubs is a better investment. It eliminates the vacuum lines altogether. Just my opinion

$70 buys a lot of regular rubber hose.

I can see extreme off-road, with a lot of brush, causing issues that stainless-steel-braided lines would help. But I think the brake lines would also suffer from that sort of abuse

The rest of the system will still cause problems, the plastic vacuum lines upstream, the vacuum solenoid, etc.

Of course, it does LOOK cool
