[V8] abusive relationship

[d saad]

I think Spokane Hose is a great company - but make sure to tell them to
weld on new hose barbs. If they don't, the likelyhood of a leak is high.
Something about the barbs not being big enough for their hose and
equipment. In fact, this is probably why the OEMs all leak after a while.

If a hose does fail, they stand behind it though.

btw, my
leak is at the connection of hardline to rack section. It went from a few
drips to gusher in a few days. The other section has already been rebuilt.
(three times - last time they put on a new hose barb)
Also, this oil
has soaked the left wheel well and is causing all the undercoating to fall
off. Under the car it is dissolving the undercoating. I hope it does not
attack the new suspension bushings I just put in.
I am using the
Chevron RYKON 32 oil.

The bugaboo with our hoses being rebuilt locally is the metric fittings.
