I cut this hose to remove my power steering pump. I cut this hose so I would like to replace it but I can't seem to find it. Is it fine to reuse it if its just the hose side I cut? I have always replaced lines after doing something like this. So far I have found this but on amazon it is cheaper but it doesn't fit according to amazon. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Steering-Return-Line-Hose-Assembly-Return-Line-Assembly-EDELMANN-80448/163043810584?epid=81030281&hash=item25f62b1d18:g:G-IAAOSwoDFa3ERT

 

Go to Rockauto website and search for it there.

 

Tried that sir, but it did not come up with the hose I need.

 

They have them on rockauto. They are under "Steering" One is "Power Steering Pressure Hose" and the other is "Power Steering Return Hose".

I've got no idea what year your truck is so I can't help with that.

 

 

Yes, you can reuse it. I did. It's just the low pressure return line. Funny thing is it doesn't leak, but the high pressure one does.

Here's the hose:

The metal side goes to the gear, hose end to the pump.

 

Is this a different hose that is installed? I swear the hose that is installed looks a lot different from the one from RockAuto.

 

The metal end from the pump may be different but who cares? Parts change over time and vendors change parts. Just remove it and show it to a shop if it makes you that concerned. There's only so many NTP ends and hose sizes out there. Plus they're listed as "cut to fit" anyway so just make the new line work for your truck.

 

Just go to the parts store and ask for hose suitable for power steering/ transmission fluid. They sell it by the foot. Take a piece a long so you get the right size.

 

Put it on today, and everything went well, no leaks. 30 seconds later I see white smoke coming from the tailpipe and from the back of the engine bay. I think I need a new head gasket.
