Another 2 door Tahoe for me

I keep forgetting to update this thread….

This fall I noticed the 1/4” return line from the IP and injectors was cracking. That hose was some diesel-rated hose that I bought from McMaster-Carr that was a good price, but obviously wasn’t great quality.

So I got to drop the tank and replace the hose with some Gates Barricade hose with an SAE 30R14 rating. This stuff should hold up well. This is what I get for trying to save a few bucks.

I thought I had replaced the hoses on the Tahoe at some point in time. Must have confused it with something else again. Seems there was a couple things I thought I'd done to it that must have been one of the Suburbans or trucks

Last winter I did a 100% new fuel system in it..........so you may have changed the hoses, but I ripped everything out that was in there to start fresh.
 
Maybe you got yours out of a batch that had been sitting on a warehouse shelf since before the pandemic? But still, installed in a location where it wasn't exposed to the weather, extreme heat or sunlight, it sure does look like it was exposed to UV/ozone or something that caused it to harden and crack.
