Message: [QUOTE="Garbage_Mechanic, post: 862097, member: 1610"] I have a lot of hydraulic experience. Don't take this lightly. It is doable, but the range of specs is pretty narrow, because there are a couple of other specs such as temperature and bend radius. It needs to be right, close isn't good enough. Stainless braded hoses are great, but very vulnerable to the slightest damage to the outer wire braid. I have seen a rubber covered hose on Caterpillar 3126 (with HEUI) I had the specs to it but not anymore. I tried to make one at hyd shop rather than buy from Cat but they had to special order the hose. I like to put clear heat shrink over the stainless hoses in any vulnerable spots. Don't forget hoses act as harmonic dampeners for the system. With 8 hyd cylinders stroking and the pump pumping all at varying loads and speeds and pressures there is room for harmonics to develop. I have no evidence it does or doesn't just past experience on other systems. So hard lines could be bad or good..... Just remember a failure could end up with a burned down truck! I once had a pinhole leak in a hydraulic hose blow on the turbo of a 3208 and it created a fireball bigger than a can of hair spray and a lighter!!!! [/QUOTE]
