Corporate work life.....

Does anyone use the "sweep it under the rug while XXXXXXXX is here visiting" tactic to avoid months of bitching / emails / drama?

depends on where you get them. Did you do field serviceable or crimp on? Gates? I think I was at like $4.50 for a 3/8 FJX90 last I bought. Gates megacrimp so no extra ferrule to buy, 90* turn female swivel end. I found going to the hydraulic shop and having it made was kind of a rape

Re: Random Thoughts

Gates hose / crimped ends / bout 3 feet each. One end was a long 90* Went to a local NAPA. Steering hoses from Orbital to ram. I jus told the guy they were for a steering setup and they needed to be bombproof/overkill.

You get a spare one too? Just in case.

The current one I noticed a couple quarter sized spots on the axle tube and it looks like the hose is "seeping" around the field service fitting at the ram. Not really leaking, I could never get it to drip or spray.

I just got 2 new hoses that go from the orbital to the ram and will be tossing the old ones in the spare part bag on the rig. I noticed it 1/2 way up Rattle Rock, so if it'll finish RR, then it's still decent to use in a pinch(no pun intended).
