    I am going to do a full vacuum hose replacement in my engine bay and wanted to go with red hoses but cannot find what sizes I need nor where to get red hose either locally or by length online. Any help on measurements and sizes of hoses and places to get it locally would be awesome. I would do the measuring myself but will be out of town for another week before getting home and wanted to think ahead so I could get it done when I am back. Thanks

    thanks for that! I have to find the sizes I need now. I searched the whole service manual and didn't find my sizes.

    Look for the fitting it connects to for it's sizing info or use a vernier caliper on a junk yard motor and test diameters in the middle of the lines and if possibe buy the junky lines for cheap money cut them in half in the middle. Then measure wall thickness and inner diameter I know that sounds like alot of work and cost some but if you really want the info and toyota won't give it up ... You have to do what you have to do ...:} You can try to decipher the info on the lines like bryan139 suggests I would not hold much hope to be able to find the info that way as they are most likely contract supplied and marked how ever toyota dictated which might only mean something to toyota engineers but give it a shot.

    I can't help on the sizes but I was able to find red air hose at my local Sears hardware. I used it for my diff breather extension. It was available in 1/4" and 3/8". Not sure if this type of hose is good for vacuum lines but just puttin it out there

    I cut some wires here. Added some wires there.
    Shouldn't it be printed on the side of the hoses that are on there now?
