[Stormbrow]

Totally understand, and thank you very much!

Hopefully it'll help someone else in the future.

The future is here and this thread helped tremendously.

I have been having some high idle issues the last few days and thought it was a vacuum leak so I just went out and checked this on my 03 and it's loose as can be. I guess I will take it off and hit Oreilly's and Autozone tomorrow and see if I can find a replacement.

I'm having the same issues. Mine falls apart every time I touch it. I have a clamp on it at the moment, to see if I can find a new 90.

Haven’t bought it yet, been on the road. But they have 1/4” and 3/8”. 5/16” too, if I remember correctly.

Those sizes will do for our Jeeps.

Planning on ordering once I get home and confirm the sizes. I’ll post what I get.

I know it's a 3 year old post but do you have a link to those elbows from HPS?

What is the Mopar part or the HPS part because I am not able to find one that small? Having the same issue on my son's TJ with replacing the Dorman like ever 3-6 months.

Mopar is discontinued now... and you'd be extremely lucky to find a good used one on eBay...

HPS doesn't have a direct replacement part number they go by size....

Not sure how good of an idea this is but I heard of someone using a spark plug elbow once ….ingenuity at work maybe

I currently keep the Dorman ones in stock between my TJ and my daughter’s YJ these cheap vacuum hose elbows they sell are one of the thorns in my side

I used a 90 degree spark plug boot for the middle hose. Works great.
