Vacuum elbows

[OzarkGuy]

Does anyone know where I could source new vacuum elbows that aren't made in china? I see Autozone may have them by Dorman but the reviews are not thrilling with some people saying they dry up and split quickly. I am trying to renew all the vacuum lines for reliability even though the truck runs good now. Some of the fittings are really loose.

I’d just use the Dorman if you can find the right size.

I had really bad luck with the doorman ones. After two years the rubber hardened, cracked, and caused leaks. I ended up using decent ones from a junkyard that werent as loose as my originals, but I am also interested to hear if anybody has found a better brand.

I just did a lot of searching and didn't come up with much.  You could buy high quality silicone vacuum hose and use it as elbows.

I would also be cautious when purchasing the small diameter vacuum hose from NAPA. I thought I was purchasing 10ft continuous and it came in sections.

The Dorman vacuum hose assembly is garbage. I ended up using silicone to get the connections to stay together.

I don't know what the actual size of the nipples on the truck are but I think this one is it. Not sure. I agree on not using Dorman. I've read alot of online reviews on how it comes apart in a short time span. This one I found online looks very close to what I think we have. They are sold in 25 or more quantities. I don't care so long as it will last!
