Fingers crossed, hope its fixed....when i tightened down the new clamp it sounded like air was escaping as it sealed the hose (strange??), so i am HOPING that fixed it since it should now be air tight. Cleaned up everything real good and the only place i could trace any leak to was that damn line. The "clamp" on the line that had come from the factory was basically a glorified zip tie.
ps my truck goes from sitting outside in subzero weather to a 70F garage everyday, so im guessing that transition from hot to cold it helping contribute to thehose leaking.
Clean it up with brake clean to get the residue off. I've changed those hoses a few times, IIRC for like 40 bucks it comes with both hoses the fitting and a loom to make it look pretty.
It will work if its tight enough. I had to go back and tighten mine more, it started leaking right away. Yep, the stock clamp was sooo loose it was rediculous.
