zip ties are mans best friend. ;)

They ARE!!!!! I can not count the ways I have used zip ties to mend things. Have even used them for plastic welding.

Not that we know of, but I definitely don't want to be the first, especially going into a tight corner at 100 mph. ;)

Yeah im going to leave mine alone when someones comes off let me know. For all I know a zip tie might make it too tight and the hose rips.

Mine was off and I did the same thing you did.

[MENTION=31363]HiddenArmadillo[/MENTION], yours fell off?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. My hose was not off completely just meant to say it was not all the way on.

Thank you! I checked and needed to push mine up (still attached no leaks). slid back on very easily will be adding a ziptie.

Mine had to be pushed back in some and there was fluid on my fingers when I was done.

Yikes!

Just checked mine, looks like it was hanging on for dear life. Pushed it back on gently and now cannot pull it back, maybe it was never engaged fully? Time will tell if the Voodoo will vibrate it loose. No sign of fluid leak though.

Cannot see how a zip tie or hose clamp will fix this, the end of the hose attached the the plastic master cylinder is plastic itself, 90% sure a hose clamp will break the end, be careful if you attempt. I say check periodically and let it be other than pushing it back on. If you break it with a hose clamp it will be on your dime to fix, Ford will say you caused it.

Somebody mentioned that a new car on the lot was different. We need a pic maybe Ford fixed it and just keeping quiet anybody have access to the TSB's. If that the case we can all get the update. Had one like that on my F350 front swaybar the draglink bushings were falling apart. Had TSB number told the dealer I had the clunking symptom and they replaced the swaybar with new style.

Mine was a 1/2" away from the canister. Plastic zip tie should be the easy fix.

So this is mine. View from the top. It was tough to take a clear pic from the side but it looked like the opening of the line was already oblong. It slid easily up then back to this position. I definitely had weeping evidenced from fluid on my fingers from the underside. I'd recommend touching the underside to see how yours feels to you

I did not try to slide it away from the master cylinder but I can assure you mine did not have any sealant that is gluing it in place. It was lubricated very wellI'm gonna call my parts guy tomorrow to see if he has any info.

The line is a hard plastic. I wonder how effective a zip tie around it is gonna be?

Hey [MENTION=30248]AirBusPilot[/MENTION],

Did you feel the line compress when you put the zip tie on?
