Noticed some small cracks forming in the flexible front brake hoses where they pivot at the steering knuckle. Decided to replace them, can't seem to locate the correct hoses though. First got Napa Hoses from the local Napa store, these didn't have a pipe on the caliper end. These were Part #'s 381298 and 381299 Probably would have worked except the banjo fitting was too wide and hit the back of the piston housing of the caliper. Couldn't get the banjo fitting to seat on the caliper. I took those back and they ordered AC Delco Part #'s 18J1654 and 18J1655. These have a pipe on the caliper end but isn't bent like the original, first installed one and it rubs on the factory 16" aluminum alloy wheel. I twisted it as far from the wheel as it could go but doesn't allow much clearance at all between the hose and wheel weights. They have now ordered another set of AC Delco hoses but said they have no pipe on the end, I have a suspicion these will be the same as the first set of hoses I got. The original hoses had the pipe bent to go around the rear of the caliper, but no one seems to be able to find a Part # for that hose. Ideas?

Try this part number 19435352/19435351

 

Is that the ways yours look?

Not really sure then. The 1654/1655 part numbers where the other ones I found, which you already tried.

 

There isn't anything else out there for a 2WD truck as far as I can tell. Other than trying a different brand hoses I guess.

I was talking to someone who had tried finding replacement brake hoses for a 90’s model Silverado. Don’t remember what year exactly it was but ran into the same problem. Said he ended up grinding a bit off the banjo to let it clear the caliper. I don’t want to do that. I have found some listings online of hoses that look the same as the originals. Part # 19366682
