If plastic fittings are inferior then why does every vehicle manufacurer use them and have used them for the past, idk 20yrs.... Hell you're 04 dodge has plastic fitting going to the tank as well. I know of a friend who had one that was broke.1995 model(may have been his fault not sure I wasnt there.), I had one on my 1999 that I bought that was causing air to get into the system causing hard starts but the air dog solved that and that was the reason for purchase. Also Ive heard of others on one the forums with one broken/cracked connection, so it not unheard of or likely but it happens. I never said my truck didnt have them
How many of you have removed the factory plastic quick connects on your older trucks and never had them break? I know i've done 2 96 trucks, 2 98s and a 94 and have never had one break, even when the factory steel line was rotted.
If you want to mount the AD in a location that is not per the instructions, then imo you are responsible for any extra hose you will need not Pureflow.Never said it was their responsibility to give me more hose or other parts outside of the contents in the box unless something wasnt included. The bases are the same as the old one, so you can just screw some AN fittings into it. So again if you decide to do something custom or outside the box, you will be responsible to get what you need to do so.
Also the masses out there are not as "mechanically inclined" as yourself. So i ask why should they only cater to you? Why shouldnt they if they dont know something as simple as that then why should they even be near a truck or under it for that matter. Hell I bet they cant even change or dont change their own oil. They get it changed at Wally World while getting their groceriesImo if you don't like the quick connect fittings cut them off and get barbed ones. Now keep in mind that there have been some people that have complained that after a while the hose starts to crack and leak around the barb... so you decide, do you want Jap crap barbed fittings or USA made quick disconnects...
