where to buy Shift on the fly vacuum hoses
Howdy,
I just got a 1999 f250 7.3 and am doing all the maintenance that kept the beast within my price range: ball joints, drag link, leaking up-pipes, etc. While hanging out under the truck (which as an aside is much roomier than it was under the toyota camry we had before!), I noticed these dry-rotted tubes hanging down by the front brake calipers, and thanks to this forum I now know that these are the vacuum hoses to engage the 4x4 hubs. But what I can't figure out is where to buy replacements (besides very nice and expensive braided ones ... price range again). Can I just buy vacuum hose from NAPA, or is there something more complicated going on here? Do I need to replace the fittings (perhaps not the right terminology ... I mean the nipple the tube connects to) as well?
Thanks
