where did you buy power steering lines and which ones?

[HankHill]

my lines keep leaking and Im fed up with it, I checked advance auto's website and they list about 500 for my truck so I have no idea which one to pick out, I know that my power steering system has the cooler that hangs off that piece down by the oil pan.

and for those who are wondering, I did decide to keep my truck, I got out of my deal where I was going to get my newer chevy Im wondering if I will regret it though, oh well

I am not familiar with your model's setup but if it has o-rings like the older hoses have, I would replace those first. Every time I've had a ps leak it was at the stupid o-rings in the end fittings. Never actually blew out a hose.

In all my years of driving and mechanic-ing, I have never actually bought a ready-made steering hose; I just have the hose guy at the auto-parts make me what I need, either using my old fittings, or new ones from his vast supply.

Another option, and usually cheapest, is to adapt your end fittings to either 1/4-NPT or 3/8-NPT and just buy the appropriate length pre-made hydraulic hose at TSC, Harbor Freight, or the like.

If your truck has that useless loop of tubing "cooler", you are wise to simply eliminate/bypass it.

I respectfully disagree - there is no disadvantage to keeping the loop if it is in good shape (not rusted through), it is well protected and does provide for some extra cooling capacity.

you need a powercraft #91744. Its like 20 bucks. Just put a new one on before i did my hydroboost swap

Yup, I use the parts-store-special hoses in mine as well, even with the slightly hopped-up C2 pump they hold up just fine.
