Default 4 wheel drive front axle actuator vacuum hose

Since I put a lift on my 1994 Dodge 1500 5.2, the actuator vacuum hose busted in half and I now need a new/longer one. I can't seem to find anything regarding them/selling them. Any ideas?

Dealership should have it. I bagged one about six years ago right out of inventory, anyway.

Which part of the lines do you need? If you need the metal parts, just buy some brake line, and bend it up as needed.

It is just the cheap red and black hose that connects to the actuator. Is seems to be thin and fragile.

Yeah, the plastic gets old, and brittle...... could just replace it with some generic vacuum line the correct size..... just make sure the outboard connector on the CAD gets vacuum in 2wd.

Been thinking about trying this stuff out. Wonder if it would hold up longer?
