Big block power steering reservoir to pump hose? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**thelonerife** · 01-22-2013, 05:52 PM

What kind of hose can I use on my big block ps reservoir to pump. Mine shows some small cracks and while the gearbox and hoses are being replaced its a good time to swap this hose. Can i use 5/8 heater hose?

I got mine from a marine shop...it needs to be oil/fuel resistant. Heater hose is not, and eventually it will break down and "weep" power steering fluid.

Liverat,

Thanks for posting the part numbers for PS hose!

I will be needing the hose for my big block shortly and having the PN's is very helpful.

Your local NAPA store should have bulk hydraulic hose in stock, cut to length. Usually Weather Head brand

When I lived in Nashville, I bought some from a hose shop downtown, but can't remember the name. I believe what you need is hydraulic return line. DO NOT use heater hose.

My local NAPA has a universal low pressure hydraulic hose, in several sizes. It does not have wire it, I plan to use it on mine. Only drawback is, most sizes are red in color, I will paint mine, paint sticks to rubber, if you get it clean...

I went to Napa and he came out with a heater hose. I even gave him a part # too. I left and went to Car Quest. Got the right one so I'm happy. Thanks again guys.
