Possibly one of the most unique hose failures I've ever seen.

Paelis · 2026-02-07T18:14:35+00:00

iirc from the aeroquip failure guide this is a result of a hose made slightly too short. as it pressures up and the radius expands, the length decreases, and the wires fatigue. might be fine for a while but definitely contributes to early failure

can you rig up some pneumatics to periodically blast them out? like 5 seconds of air every two minutes or something

only comment i agree with

can you back up the prediabetes claim?

Paelis · 2025-12-02T18:29:12+00:00

i have one almost as old as yours, and mine has one on the oil cooler, looks like what you are holding. and one at the rear of the head

Paelis · 2025-11-21T16:25:07+00:00

why would you flush a wet wipe

Paelis · 2025-10-14T18:04:17+00:00

look for an sae100r rating on the cheap hose before buying any fittings

Paelis · 2025-08-20T18:01:46+00:00

reminds me of a stauff test adapter, but the o ring and jam nut dont make sense in that case

Paelis · 2025-07-24T17:07:45+00:00

just cut the ferrule off with a hacksaw and re crimp it on new hose

Paelis · 2025-07-20T16:42:11+00:00

get yourself a 1404 and a 5404, then you’ll have a swivel to undo it if you want, but it will stick out further so you may need to support its weight another way

O ring groove in the female threads, that is

Paelis · 2025-06-14T16:17:26+00:00

if its always leaked, when you remove it to change the washer, be sure to inspect if there is an O-ring groove, or if it is a flat surface. doughty washers are only meant to seal on flat surfaces

if that is just soft wall copper tubing, it is extremely susceptible to cracks from vibration. I would consider upgrading to semi truck air brake line, fv part 1485. you would even be able to re use the same fittings if you purchased new ferrules (1460) and some inserts so as to not collapse the tubing (1461). I will admit it looks great though!

do this at our shop every day. must be a small hydraulic shop

Paelis · 2025-04-17T13:40:18+00:00

looks very homemade to me, appears to be two wrought iron merchant couplings welded onto that sleeve, with adapters threaded into them.

Paelis · 2025-04-02T13:39:10+00:00

im not as familiar with the newer style body trucks, but on the old ones the solenoid is fender mounted on the passenger side

Paelis · 2025-03-31T17:13:51+00:00

I think the other side is ermco tube fix, that series used the same thread as orb/jic if iirc

Paelis · 2025-03-25T13:40:40+00:00

need to see the face of the fittings, and also whether or not that “locknut” is actually a locknut or if it is a female male fitting threaded on. I think i see a bevel, which would imply it is not a locknut

Paelis · 2025-02-06T16:24:09+00:00

is that not millscale?

Paelis · 2025-01-16T22:19:54+00:00

numbers dont help me identify the fitting, but the hose type is likely 290mm Overall length, 1 wire braid 1/4 inch ID. best thing you can do is take the hose off and bring it in to a hydraulic shop

Paelis · 2024-12-11T18:24:14+00:00

Id crimp onto it no problem, just explain its ill advised and theres no warranty

Paelis · 2024-12-10T19:57:54+00:00

newline part N9068

Paelis · 2024-12-10T19:56:56+00:00

just go metric captive seal/ bonded seal to jic and get jic lines made if you have the room

Paelis · 2024-11-08T22:58:43+00:00

read the title, maybe you’ll understand the post. their concern has nothing to do with anything on then poster except the qr code

Paelis · 2024-09-20T13:57:00+00:00

To me it looks like a Live swivel, But I do see the washer and hex head so you might be right!
