I just replaced all those on my ex! Chances are another one is about to go I got mine at oriellys for about 32.00 each and I just ran a fuel line rubber hose right from The pump to The cooler. I heard a hissing of the fluid spitting out and lost all my brakes.

Please be careful kdr358, fuel line is NOT compatible with power steering and transmission fluids. Grab a chunck of trans cooler line and replace the fuel hose. And yes this is the voice of experience!!
Good Luck, Roger!

The failure was because of the rotted line, and partly because it was rubbing against the plow frame.
I used some left over trans hose and called it a day. It's actually more common than youd think... At least for me. My second Super Duty, my second set of rotted PS cooler lines.

Have to show the picture to my son, so he knows what is corrosion. I did take him to Sierra to see snow couple of times.

It's a fact of life here in New England. We've got the Best lobster and seafood in the world, amazing landscapes/seascapes... and of course, all of our cars and trucks just fall apart. Everything rots to death here.

I grew up in 4 seasons and even it was well over 20 years ago, still remember how big part of my life was spend just fighting the weather.
Here in California I always advise locals to appreciate what they take for granted. Than it is sad going to Baja, Mexico where you can basically pick up seafood with your bare hands, don't need insulation in your house and locals have no motivation to get out of poverty. So enjoy your area and bring us some lobsters. after you fix the truck that is.
