    Rubber lines that can flex are much better than that stiff hard ****. Its kinda like taking a piss. It's just easier when your dick is limp.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Just finished my LIM job the other day and broke it too, it's common... I used Heat Shrink for the time being till I fix it...



    Works so far, but I haven't really driven it much... waiting on the ridiculously priced ($30) replacement OEM direct from China part... was tempted to just use silicone lines but what the hell... I just ordered the Vacuum Harness.

    Dude I had to go to a few "help" sections at a few stores but they had an exact piece. I have an extra I can just mail you if you want. I tried the heat shrinking method but only had wayyy to big or to small. If you had just the right size tho I bet if would work great not even replace it. Just do yourself a favor and dont use a heat gun. The coolant elbows sealant really dont like it. Anyway I can mail you a piece or I can give you the doorman part# "still from china" and you spend $2.99 and get 6 parts. Just heatgun= bad bad idea

    I appreciate it, but horse is out of the barn already (ordered)...

    3/8 heatshrink with a gentle touch on the heat gun worked well. I also broke a vacuum line on the other side of the same harness, used the shrink there but it didn't hold up well, replaced it with a short piece of silicone line, so I just ordered the piece and threw up the white flag! lolz

    Thanks again tho...

    Thanks again, really it is what makes this forum so great, everyone is helpful, (not too many trolls)... LOL.
    Yeah, I know, I looked around too, found O'reilly's had the rubber black fittings too no less, of course cheap cheap such a deal too.
    Lesson learned, next time I'll be a lil more patient.

    See my issue was I only searched advanced auto which came up with nothing. Then I googled vacuum connectors or somthing like that and POOF orielys and a few others. This forum is good compared to most Ive been on. People are willing to help or atleast send a link to a thread with your answer in it. Plus I went through such crap with this piece trying to rig it till winter and there it was at Auto Zone for 3 bucks......... Im beyond done with Advanced now. With a new found respect for the heat gun. God am I stupid lol. Ill be wise as **** one day tho

    *Update I went ghetto fabulous since my heatshrink job on the cracked hard line well the slipped apart just a little stll conected and ofcourse with the "vacuum" it would suck the heat shrink together so no air could flow through. Being super broke and not caring since a good fix is a good fix I spent $12 not $8 lol at Advanced and not its all perdy. Well not really perdy but work great and no more worries.

    Oh and an update on the Advanced Auto world. Why do you have 2 HELP sections one crapy selection in a main aisle and the big good one in a little corner you never go to..... Hints why I couldnt find what I needed right away. I just bring pictures for the fellas there from now on when I dont have and exact word.
