Most people find that it smooths out the idle and makes the idle a little quieter.

I was hesitant to install my Tymar HPX line. Mostly because of all the horror stories of failures and fires. But I realize I check things way too much to ever let it get out of hand, so I installed it. I was looking for it to help smooth out my engine at upper RPM's. It did that well. But it also made a smoother idle, and much quieter at highway speeds. I wish I hadn't waited. As long as you check it every time you service your truck, you should never have a problem. Dooooo IT!

I like itps stainless steel one (click here)

I would think it would be more reliable than the other style

I've seen that one, and concidered it. But Dale's was alot less expensive, and for some reason my wallet likes to throw money at him.

You could buy it from the manufacturer cheaper: http://members.***.net/kcmdieselperf...0Crossover.htm
I like the steel line, just install it and forget about it. But there is something to be said about saving a few $$$$$$. Both lines are good quality.

IIRC there was some talk of the rigid line being more susceptible to harmonic vibration issues. Did anyone ever acertain whether that was fact or fiction?

I haven't had a problem with mine, same as plowhand's, been about 2 years. I have heard about the rubber lines breaking the crimped seal and leaking within a short time (3-6 months) when they first came out but that is likely fixed now, haven't heard too much since.

I do notice a little vibration on mine while it's running. Only time will tell.
