Was that fitting taking the brunt of the battery falling out of the holder.

The fitting was on the trans side, but when the battery did fall over it killed the truck. Flipped it back over and it started?
Looks like the positive post on the side shorted out. Maybe the tranny side had a better ground,
Not sure, it's possible. On my list is better grounds.
That hose fitting isn't correct for the hose. The collar isn't touching the outer sleeve. Take both hoses back to wherever you got them and have them make new, or show them why you are going somewhere else. I would bet that you could pull the hose off of the fitting if you tried with just a little force.
I will have to give it a try tomorrow.
I may be wrong, and maybe it's stuck better than I think, but it doesn't look like the right combination of parts. Like the wrong series fitting for the hose.
Looks like a screw in end. Not a crimp end.
Clever one
So I thought you were being funny... I started researching ptfe today because I hear race cars use it and it turns out this is a ptfe line and indeed a threaded in that screws together.
Going to order up some stuff here shortly.
All of my brake line are that. No issues in 13 years.

Your whole brake system is flexible hose?
Down to the axles they are.
It didn’t use to be DOT but it’s popular in the race car crowd .
Edit : for the flexible lines it’s DOT , but some guys plumb the entire system with it on drag cars and circle track
Ok I thought it looked familiar. Those are kinda like the hoses we used to make for replacing the copper bugle line on semis. It's the air line that comes off the air compressor. They have to withstand high temps. Factory uses copper with compression fittings. Replacement was a Teflon lined braided stainless. They had funky ends you assembled yourself.
Lack of sleep thought you were trying to be funny. I dislike working nights I can't sleep during the day.
I guess j should have assumed that someone would think I did not have hard lines anywhere. So.....
All of my flex lines are done with that system.

Any reason this shouldn't do the trick? @ktmoutfront
I also bought some heat shrink and those aluminum separators to keep the lines off each other.

That's the stuff.
Hope so because I just bought it all, the stuff isn't cheap.
