Need a source for vaccuum lines

The Dodge dealership said they do not have the hard plastic lines that lead to the vent control box from the firewall t-fitting or to the cruise control. Does anyone know a source to find these?

If you have some spare gauge tubing that would work. Or you could get some tubing from any heavy truck parts dealer, air line.

I have never seen the product for sale but Chrysler has used it in their complete line of vehicles for as long as I can remember,at least since the 1980's so any Chrysler car, van or truck would have these type of vacuum line installed. Check the local wrecker as I don't think there is a high demand for them.

Air brake hose would work fine.
My local Napa has it by the foot.

^^ Agreed.

Just go to Napa and get some 1/4' Nylon Air Line, should work good. Should also be able to get the proper compression fittings as well.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Man, I just got this trying to order the under-dash vaccuum harness.

This is what I tried to order a couple of months back when the small rubber pieces went bad. Back then, I was told that it was no longer available. I managed to fix the fittings with rubber hose and barbed connectors from a hardware store. However since the large boot that fits on the vaccuum pump would not be as easy to replicate,
I'm going to go ahead and keep this. Note the line for the cruise control is included. For those interested, the part number is 55056421-AA

Now maybe the next vaccuum line part number will get me the rest of the underdash lines.
