Somewhere I've missed the year of this truck. When I did my front
end...(98) I replaced everything. Rack, rack bushings, pump and both
hoses.
I don't have the bills at my finger tips, but the pressure side with the
two fittings came from my nappa dealer and the hose with the fitting on
one side and the clamp on the other came from the dealer. I'm thinking
that the two of them together weren't anywhere near that.... 150.00 tops
