Changed the vacuum hoses. 22R. Went to Oreilleys auto parts. Bought 15' of hose, sized to fit the plastic fitting from the truck. Used all but 7'. $9.60. Beware there is a 3-way fitting in front of the engine 2" away from the distributor. You could easily remove this to take it into the parts store just to make sure the hose fits. Then when you get home, you don't know which way to go back, not realizing it is a check valve, not just a splitter. Fortunately, I have a photo of my engine compartment... been there, done that... Be gentle. In my case, all of the hoses went onto metal parts, except for the 3-way. If you break something, good luck finding the part to replace. Might get relatively expensive. There were seven hoses on my California equipped truck. Easy job. One hose at a time. Not "remove all hoses then wonder where each goes". Just saying. First hose change since 1984. 'Bout time. Yes, the wisdom is to use 3mm hose, but the one I bought fit the fitting best. No I did not use silicone. Didn't use Amazon because I wanted to do it now/today.
