Default Air Control Issue

Hey Guys.

I was working on my buddy's truck when i broke those thin plastic lines that are connected to the intake for vacuum, and they control the airflow in the cab. Nobody can give me an exact name for them. And i want to replace mine aswell. Anybody have any idea what i'm talking about and what they are called?

He wasn't too mad but I didn't charge him for the job i did on his valve covers.

vacuum lines.

if you broke the nasty plastic fellers, just get some right size rubber vacuum line, and splice 'em back together.

Vacuum tubing. Parts store should have it. Small, stiff and brittle as it ages...They are prone to breaking any time you work on something around them.

Probably cause them to shatter........ I think I hard look would accomplish the same thing..... maybe even talking bad about them within earshot.....

I really dislike the plastic lines.
