Hey everyone - first time posting here!
I'm not the savviest person when working on my pickup but I recently had a P0171 code pop on the truck. When inspecting, I saw this rubber 90 degree connector split. I have not been able to find a proper part to replace this broken one. Has anyone had any luck? I believe this part of a vacuum line... but not 100%.

Thanks in advance!

 

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON ???

Thanks for sending over. I may have missed it in the link provided but do you have a website I may be able to replace this cracked rubber connector? It may be causing the vacuum leak listed in the article provided.

 

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON ???

 

I am trying to solve for the P0171 code I received. I took it into a Meineke car care and they suggest I need a new Catalytic Converter but they also showed this rubber connection on a vacuum line cracked which I am trying to replace.

 

He’s asking what is your vehicle! Yr make, model and engine! Also, go to any part store and buy the assortment pack of vacuum connectors.

 

Ahhh I'm an idiot.
I'm really sorry - first timer here...

That makes sense. Meineke wanted to charge me $80 to replace the connector, and I just couldn't imagine it being that much.
Apologies again for not getting the question being asked....

 

You’re good! You’re mostly paying for their labor! The assortment pack is probably less than $10 and you’ll have others for future use. Seeing that you have all the original vacuum line, I would plan a weekend to replace them all just so you don’t have to worry or search for it later. 20ft of 5mm silicone vacuum hose and a box of assortment vacuum tee. Problem solved! Pretty sure it only cost me about $30-40 total.

 

Is this something that an auto parts store also sells?

 

Yes, but it’s a lot cheaper online like Amazon.

 

Those kits are nice I've used them before.

 

you would be surprised what kind of crap I’ve temporarily fixed with them! Some “temp” fixes are still going strong.

 

Nothing will ever beat how I used mechanics wire to be my alternators tensioner. That was terrifying but it worked!. I found the bolt like 10 min later in the dirt.

 

I helped a buddy redo wiring on a 65 Chevy he bought. The front lights were ran with house electrical wiring and the rears were ran off an extension cord. The normal orange ones… no idea how that truck didn’t burn down!

That’s what it was when he got it, we, mostly I, put in a Painless wiring full kit.
