    Nylon D.O.T Tubing vs. Rubber Hose for Air Line Repair

    I plan on using it to replace the air lines in my M35A2 when they go. Good enough for commercial rigs today should be okay for a truck designed 50 years ago.

    Exhaust huff-huff-huffing engine sounds fine though..

    I am trying to figure out where to start... The exhaust sounds like it is huffing at speed and idle. The sound is not a pop though. Engine runs fine and no vibrations. Anyone else have this before? Thank you..
