    last winter I had a problem with those plastic lines busting but now my rubber air lines are tearing at the fitting and leaking. 3rd time this week I’ve developed an air leak. When I got this truck someone had taken the factory lines off and put these rubber air lines on and used brass shop fittings. The leak is always right at the fitting.
    What’s the easiest solution to fix this while keeping the rubber lines

    Install them so that the hoses are not being pulled off at an angle from the fittings right away. That should make them last longer.

    If you havent done so already get some of those platsic/metal handles to put between the glad hand and hose so you have something to grab onto when installing/removing the gladhands besides right at that fitting

    Maybe some duct take where the rubber meets the brass fitting to help provide support.

    Almost nothing that can't be fixed with duct tape.
