Hey, I had to buy new ones when I put a new 4.3 in my 95 S10 4x4. I went to my local Napa parts store and they had them for 35$ and the dealer wanted around 100$.

If you want there number or part number let me know. They could prolly help you out, if still needed.

Thanks guys. Yeah somebody told me it was a dealer only part. Ill check my parts store and ask them see if they stock em. My dad recently put this 4.3 in from a safari or astro dont remember which one.

the lines from napa are poor quality, and your best off going to the dealer and spending the 100 buks to fix it right, with quality parts, the job is a fun one to do, why do it more often?

are the lines from NAPA called Dorman lines or are they something else?

im not sure, we changed a set of lines one day at work and i asked boss why we didnt use napa for something like that and he said they were overpriced for the quality of the part

I'm using the dorman set. I bought some from rockauto for $20. They lasted about a year and 50,000 miles. When they started leaking a few weeks ago, I bought another set from Advance Auto for $30 because I didn't have time to wait on shipping. They are much cheaper than OEM, because they are lower quality. (Not poor quality, just lower quality.) The next time they need to be replaced, I'll probably check out GMPartsDirect.com.

They're not that hard to replace, takes me about 20 minutes.

I always thought about cutting the crimped collars off(carefully not to cut into the line you need) with a air cut off tool and gettings some new lines and then clamp them on with hose clamps(double clamp or triple clamp).I'm sure it can be done and give better results.
