Vacuum repair
Wanting to go through my truck and repair all my vacuum lines in the motor compartment. I found this write-up on FSB
Replace Plastic Vacuum Hoses with Rubber - FSB Forums
I got a little confused in the write up because the original poster was saying I only needed 20' for 5/16 hose while further down someone was stating I would need a kit that had different sizes.
Any help would be appreciated.

5/16" will replace all of the small plastic lines. The kit that is mentioned is to replace ALL vacuum lines and hoses with silicone ones. This includes the lines from the brake booster to the manifold and all of the lines for vacuum operated cruise control. The lines to the vacuum controlled cruise as well as the brake booster line are already rubber. They don't have to be replaced. So 20' of 5/16" hose will take care of the problematic plastic lines.
