So, I hit the throttle to feel my still new-to-me power and she jumped and then died... I hit the key and coasted off the road. Noticed a ton of smoke coming out from under the hood...
So I jumped out, opened the hood and saw oil sprayed EVERYWHERE... I can only assume this means I lost an HPOP line. I haven't even had a chance to clean everything off but I don't think an o-ring is gonna make that kind of a mess or lose that kind of volume so fast.
Here's my problem... the previous owner must have got some hydraulic shop to make him new lines when he found out what the old Ford ones were worth ($260 a side up here in rip-off land). So, I no longer have the factory quick connect ends and am gonna need to find a set of those.
Does anyone have any spares kicking around? Or should I just suck it up and buy a set of 4 ($100 from dieselorings)?
Here's a pic of the lines the guy had on there... I suspect they were not rated for the PSI of the HPOP... looks like an ORB fitting maybe?
