Are you talking about the plastic hardline or the metal?
I was able to modify all the plastic hardline on my. You can remove the locking fittings and move them down the line as you see fit with a little heat. I was even able to reform some of the lines too. Gotta be careful not to overheat or the line becomes too brittle and may burst under constant fatigue.

Yep. You're screwed. Lay down some $$$ and pay the piper.

well, the dodge never let me down on the Tenn. trip a week ago. I got 12mpg on the way up/ and 12.5 on the way home(330 miles-1 way). The added horsepower/torque came in handy. I hit the Saluda grade(7 %) with plenty of pedal and power to spare. The highest EGT was 1250 degrees and right at 40 psi boost. I'm guessing I was still around 15,000 lbs. DODGE CUMMINS!!!!!!
