dexter860 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My 95 CH is starting to get some leaks , I noticed some of the lines are starting to seap , I asked dealer about lines and they acted clueless , said to go somewhere and have them made . I went to Napa and vermeer , and some other places that make hoses and they said they don't keep any kind of fittings like that. The truck is almost 30 years old so I'd like to just start replacing some of these before they fail on the road , can anyone tell me where to start to look , thanks.

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 those are JIC fittings, I think 37 degrees.. they are available as a 'build your own' type. I have a parts house near me that sells the fitting and the hose by the foot or roll. I just cut to length and assemble.. your fittings are #4, #6, #8, #10. then you just get the hose that fits the fittings.. I dont recommend fork lift hose. its too stiff..

mechohaulic Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 based on the picture shown; the #6 line has "old style" fitting requiring tool (another male fitting ) to assemble. newer fittings have only two pieces not 3. swivel end has collar . philips screwdriver of proper size to fit in hose with lube works well.

mrgumby Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 We used to call them Aeroquip fittings years ago trucks were loaded with these hoses and fitting. Now people just wanna go buy a hose instead of making them Made many a many hoses with them 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73848-oil-and-fuel-lines/#findComment-546452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I had the same problem dealerships did not carry the lines on a roll anymore. I wound up going to a hydraulic hose shop. They had everything in stock, but they had to order one of the lines took a month for them to finish them, mainly waiting on the one hose. Good luck believe it or not you can try Amazon. They carry a lot of the lines in stock…. Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73848-oil-and-fuel-lines/#findComment-547130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
