2100, I'm not sure what you need the truck for but you could crimp the line and use it carefully until you get the new line.

AK, could he do a 5 mm bubble flare? 5 mm and 3/16" are pretty close.

Most of the guys I know have done this, grab a 26' roll of 3/16 and a good double flare tool and reuse the fittings from the old lines. We've even discussed this on the forum here. One of our regulars did this last summer and discussed it one here. I remember him buying a new double flare tool just for this.

Wait, that was 2100 with the Highboy. There a couple wri\teups on this though on here and at the 150 dot net.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.
I pulled the rear line from the M/C and plugged the port as a temp fix when my Ranger blew a line.

Scored today!! I was needing the tailgate bedliner panel for Red. It is available new for 116. from only 3 dealers. Found them in obsolescence returns. BUT....

I got lucky and found a complete SCrew tailgate. with panel for only $40. No damage anywhere. It even had the cables on it (hard to find anymore). Yeah, I snapped it up., lol

I am already rolling with this bad boy for all of my ethernet connections. What a great switch at a really great price! For a home network, unmanaged switches are fine.

EDIT: So I don't throw up 3 posts in a row (not that I've never done that before, LOL), I will add on to this. In an effort to make this joist level all the way across, I put a couple furring strips on it (glue and screws). I think I am finally going to be satisfied, LOL.

Hows it goin guys, - LOL at that clamp on the right... are we a little short on clampage white ? Don't forget about the bench vice, they work in a pinch as well

I say if it works, it works. I probably wouldn't have thought of that myself but I applaud the ingenuity.

Is that wiring permanently trapped\pinched in this joist?

Very cool find AK! You really are making that truck brand new again.
