It'll go when you least expect it to and at the worst opportune time. Mr. Murphy says so.

My front end squeak went away!
Someone have a blown hose that I can borrow? The poly bushings I installed years ago have started squeaking again

So did anyone ever find a better mouse trap? My hose blew out of the nut 100 miles from home and now I have a big mess. I am going to go to Ford and get a new pump tomorrow but I would like to find a better grade of hose that won't ever blow again. Only thought at this time is a local hose supplier that builds hoses in house using arctic grade hose but I am not sure if they have a better nut fitting.

I have had hydraulic hoses made by my local guy, a Big Rig truck guy, and they always worked beyond what I had expected. And they will stand behind their work.

I'll bet that anything with a regular 90* fitting instead of that slip-nut the stocker has on it will work better. I think they engineered it like that to damper the vibrations, and after a while it vibrates loose. I think a 90 degree fitting out of the pump to a length of hose to the cooler loop would do the trick. Next time it happens to me, I'll try that...
