Dorman IMO is just as good as OE if not better. Cost wise they can't be beat. GM wanted 38 each for my 97 1500 and I paid 15 for my replacements from Dorman. ( I got a great deal)

So there are 2 votes for Dorman

they are just hydralic hoses. if you see the dif between what GM has and what you can get made its quite a big dif in quality. one has fully crimped on ends one has 2-3 spot crimped on ends gm surely didnt put much time into makeing these hoses. my uncle owns the oilfield shop i had mine made at and gm has theirs"shop truck's" done at his shop all the time. so that has to say something no?

In another life I was a Supervisor in a room full of Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronic engineers. I can almost guarantee you that no one at GM is looking to upgrade this 10 plus year old obsolete product. If GM engineers are still working on making these lines better I think I know why GM is at bankruptcies door. An aftermarket guy on the other hand, who has to have a gimmick to sell his product, has nothing to do except try to make a better line. IMHO of course. Zach I have not forgotten you. I will email the pix of these new GM OEM lines today. If you are interested we will come up with a fair price via email and I will get them out to you. I tried earlier in the week but took a camera that would not work. They are in my boat shed where I am (happily) going right now. Maybe I will post a picture of a 40 pound Striped Bass for you fellows later.

The Dorman numbers are: 625-100 $28.88 and 625-001 $39.99

You can enter your year, make & model in Advance auto web site and double check the numbers. Here is their web site:

I just replaced mine and if I can do it anyone can. Autozone had them $40 ea. and they were easy to install (thanks to this site). No more oil leaks and mess up front.

im telling you the dorman lines from rockauto.com are as good or better than oem go w/the dormans trust me you will not regret it

I just ordered the two Dorman lines online, a local auto repair place charged me $75 for labor to replace them...did the oil/filter change while they were there too.....
