Vacuum lines to selonoids

[Steve Lowenberg]

Hi, I am trying to repair the vacuum lines from the 2 solenoids on the firewall to the front differential. The pink one is just brittle and I need to replace most of it, just too many leaks.
But can’t find the small lines at parts store? Am I missing something?
For newer trucks you can buy a whole new harness. Are they available for a 97 anymore?
thanks

Not sure which lines those are, but if generic lines will work, do this:

get cheap micrometer at harbor freight to measure exact size:

Then go to O'Rielly and get the size line you need:

Good Luck

Check rockauto.com also. That hose is not cheap but repair is cheaper if you do it yourself. I have gone to using silicone vacuum line myself like the imports. Resists heat & oil much better
