The hose with the ends is only 10" so I'm planning on moving some things. The hose ends are reusable so if my measurements are off a little I can get more hose and the fittings should be good to go. If I wasn't so dang impatient I would have gone up and over like you did the second time.

Keep a close eye on those hose ends. I don't trust those kind with real high pressure. I made mine at work with a hose machine that crimps them on. I'm sending you a PM.

Jose should have more rep points than anyone on all of FTE for as helpful and nice as he is.
You make me feel embarrassment and proud to be in this forum, at the same time, because you are my masters, yes sir. Thank you.

The braided line was pretty hard to find in a small town.
Very nice hose, looks like mine, wich came from Tymar. Congrats. What was the cost of it?

Jose it ran me $73. I'm not sure what they cost, but with shipping, no wait time, and I saw it made, it was worth it. Installed it tonite and there was a small seep, I think I just need to tighten it up a bit more.

I realize that I'm being a Monday morning quarterback here, but Clay sells hard SS HPX lines for much cheaper.

I did see Clay's HPx but there's just something about that braided line...
This thread is turning out to be pretty big and informative. I like it!

Yeah, they leak, lol....


But seriously, buy either, but the reason we stopped making the braided was because over time they would start leaking.

Haha! Good one Clay. Where did they start leaking so I can keep my eye out? At the crimps i'm guessing?

Hmm.. I have around 4 years and 100k miles on a braided stainless HPX. Never had an issue, but of course now that I say that I will probably sprout a leak. lol

Before I installed mine the truck would buck and just literally go insane above 2800 RPM IIRC. After the HPX was installed it would pull smoothly up over 3500 RPM. Not sure why, but that's what happened. Truck ran fine everywhere, all the time except for high RPMs.
