Power steering hose question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BCOWANWHEELS · 07-25-2009, 03:34 PM

I have a 72 1/2 ton with factory power steering and i noticed my pressure hose had a worn place in it so i removed it and went to several auto parts places to buy a new hose. it has male fittings on each end ( inverted flair ) anyway oreilly's, advance and autozone all had the hose but the steel lines at ends of the hoses was clocked wrong and put the rubber hose at a half twist when installed. this will stress the rubber hose and i dont like it. i ordered one from napa to see if there quality is any better. could someone tell me where i can buy a hose that fits correctly.
thanks
bob

Hi Bob. Have you tried having a hose made up for you? Our Napa stores make hydraulic hoses. That is an option.
