rubber air lines

I had to replace one on my Pete. All that I could find at the truckstops, were the plastic coil type. Try a dealer. I found an International dealer, that made one for me.

 

Are you talking about the "Service Lines" from the cab to the trailer or the lines under the trailer?

 

I agree, the coil ones at truck stops are junk, rubber lines at a dealer or shop are more expensive, but worth it.

 

The dealer. I've looked into them and still thinking about getting them. Around 200. Idk if that includes installation or not. Or if that includes new glad hands. But installation is just taking a wrench at the cab. And two wrenches at the glad hand side.

 

You can order online relatively cheap.

 

The T/A and Petro shop will sell you the rubber air lines...depending on how many feet of it you need will depend how much, I got one with new fittings for $75

 

Truck parts suppliers like Truckpro or on the east coast Cumberland Truck Parts has them, all made up in various lengths. The plastic coils became popular after piss ant dot inspectors would write guys up for "chafed airlines".
They didn't even have to get dirty to find something to put on the form.

 

It seems like a lot of them are going back to rubber ones from what I can see. I wonder if they're made different now, or if people are sick of the plastic ones and just chancing the inspection all over again.
