87manche Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 no, I'm admitting to repairing a problem with the proper parts, and doing what Jeep should have done in the first place, used rubber vacuum lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORCA Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 So you are admitting to shade tree mechanic skills in going to the auto parts store to get vacume hose and fabbing your own lines. You and I just goto different places to get the replacement parts. Shade tree mechanics? And what is a plastic straw from KFC? Genuine OEM...? 3/8" (I believe it to be) vacuum tubing is designed to replace OEM lines. There's not much 'fabbing' involved either... simply measure and cut (hell I didn't even measure twice :chillin: ). But I suppose this could be a complicated little project for some.. It was probably cheaper for Jeep at one point in time to use hard plastic lines vs. rubber tubing. However they turn that around and charge a pretty penny for it at the $tealership. Then again, if you have money and can afford to go to the dealership and replace these parts then by all means go for it. :roll: I suppose this is the only "correct" way to fix this problem. And it's not as hard as fabbing your own lines either ;) But i'm not made of money. So $.09 an inch of some rubber crap from kragens sounds just right to me. And it works brilliantly. :cheers: Dang all this over a broken vacuum line... :popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
