I got mine from a place that sells parts for and services semi's. They had three-foot lengths of Gates coolant hose in stock. Here's some part numbers from the Gates catalog...

2.5" I.D. Gates 24040 Vulco Coolant Hose
3.0" I.D. Gates 24248 Green Stripe Coolant Hose

This stuff is thick, reinforced rubber hose. I think they are rated at 100psi burst pressure. It's expensive (about $40 per three-foot hose), but it works awesome. The easiest way to cut it is to use a band saw in a machine shop, and go really slow.

Good Luck!

Unlimited Performance in Delray, Harper's in Pompano maybe or Economy in Pompano maybe. The online vendors sell it, but I dont think you wanna wait that long. I might have some spare hoses at my house...lemme know if you want me to look. If you'd like to test for a vacuum leak, use propane or carb cleaner. Spray around the area and if the RPMs change, there's a leak.
