I jumped in the truck to run and errand and, nothing. Dead battery. Well its a sunny day so I pulled the battery, cleaned it and wrapped it carefully in bags, towels and other things and set it very carefully on the floor mat in peeJ. Not really but you can bet I was careful! I fired up the motor and noticed while it was warming up there was a steady drip and getting worse by the minute!
All three hoses were bad. This was the last one I did not replace, the oil pressure gauge line. I found these https://quartertonparts.com/product/...cotton-jacket/ they are very nice USA made. They have them all. The line was originally an inverted flare swivel on both ends. The new USA line is an inverted flare swivel on one end and pipe on the other. I had to change the 90 deg fitting in the block to pipe.
I cant believe the rash of trouble with these lines. Obviously a bad batch from somewhere that is now everywhere!
