[Supras] I need help with 2 Issues

[HArroyo at ascap.com]

Yeah, I agree. I did eventually just obtain an oem hose, because I found
out he was using aftermarket rubber hoses from Autozone/GB 500/Strauss &
another Supra owner here in NY told me he had the same issue until he
brought that particular hose from the dealer. Hasn't happened since, but
all other hoses are in really bad shape, swollen, cracking & such, so I'll
stick to oem.

Just my twisted logic, "those are good, but get better ones, there's always
something better!!!" lmao

Thanks again!

If your hose back there fails EVERY YEAR, then someone is doing something
wrong.

Most people get a decade or so from OEM hoses..serious..why change
what works from the factory from say 1987?
