9512vCTD

I have broke a few of these while working on the truck and i got some questions in reguards to my fix. The ends of the stock lines are flared up a bit for a better seal in the rubber connectors, well the plastic vacume line i replaced the damaged section with DOES NOT have flared ends. So i usually put some superglue around the end then put it in the rubber fitting or do that and a small zip tie on the outside. Im scared these sections i replaced might leak, what do most people do when these break, like I did? or go to the dealer and get a new section?

Thanks,

If you go to the dealer they'll probablly sell you the whole harness.

I broke mine right at the elbow at the ps pump and where it goes to the cruise control I just taped it together i still have a hole somewhere because at idle the air comes out the defrost as soon as I get goin the vents come back.

Sounds like you're making a decent repair. I'll usually find a piece of vacuum hose that fits tightly over the plastic line, then splice them together that way. Sometimes I'll then put a piece of heat shrink tubing over the hose splice and shrink it all together. I haven't tried gluing the plastic line to the rubber end, it may work very well. Let us know.
