Climate Control Vacuum Lines
Hi,
97 F350 CC 4x4 7.5L
A rodent chewed a couple of holes in a vacuum line from my climate control to the outside air motor where the line is exposed in the engine compartment.
I have looked around, and no one seems to have anything to repair it with, all too big, no fittings.
The line is a soft line, not one of the hard vacuum lines.
I was at NAPA yesterday looking for it, and in the parking lot with the hood open was an 89 Bronco. It had the exact same line in it to the outside air motor, a white vinyl looking line (with no rodent teeth marks!) so there must be alot of them out there, but I can't find a place to get it.
Anyone have experience and a trick to splice in a larger hose or something? or know where to buy new?

If there is one broken section in that white vinyl tubing then it is a matter of time before it breaks somewhere else. I like this thread from another forum: A/C and/or heater stuck on defrost - FSB Forums
It shows how to replace the entire length.

Sorry, I picked up mine from my stereo guy, and those were his last set a while back. I'd suggest if Summit does not have them to just Google silicone vacumme hose, and see if you can just buy a length of the piece you need, because a whole set is kind of pricy.
