I probably have all the fuel and brake lines you mentioned and have stored them for 25 years. So they are clean. Let me know if I can help. I have been using hydraulic hose run over top of the transmission for trans cooler lines. They have been on a few plow trucks and I have had no failures to date. Keeps them up out of the muck, rocks, debris and easier to work on the lower area.

You got a picture of that, Rick?

I had people on this site say they wouldn't hold up. They said the heat was to high. I prevailed and 3 years later they still look the same. Granted I haven't done any interstate driving but pulling wood trailer and plowing snow in my world creates more heat than normal highway driving. I hope that helps. They were not cheap.

Hydraulic hoses take a lot more heat on my tractors than your cucv produces I bet! A rubber hose will not dissipate heat as well as a steel line though.

I agree. I was doing the change to avoid the corrosion and failures on the plow truck. After spending a few times up under a plow truck at -10* in a snow pile doing in line splices I decided this was the better way. So far I have it on 3 plow trucks and have never had any issues. These trucks were designed to take the hard use. After all they lasted this long. Mr. Rusty still has the OEM engine and transmission in it. After 25 years of mountainous dirt road plowing. It has passed the test of time. Now only if it would stop corroding.
