Cheap extended rear brake hose alternative

[crewdg]

This may be a no-brainer, but had to change my rear brake hose because of old age and O'Reillys had them for over 40 bucks, so had them order a newer F-series hose and it was about 14 bucks and was 5-6 inches longer which helps with my lift. Same size fittings.

What year f-series?

I am needing to do this myself. Do you remember what kind of year range the hose you picked up was?

 

[Itsa67]

Tito beat me to it!!! Doh!! Must learn to type faster...

 

[Tito]

Hey, I gotta keep up my rep you know!!!

 

[Itsa67]

You are the master...all bow down to Tito the post whore

 

[crewdg]

What year f-series?

Honestly, not sure what year, but the box has "BrakeBest BH36851" and also states "replaces Wagner F98947"
Hope this helps

perfect! I think that will work.

I found a jeep site that crossreferenced that part # to a 79 F250...can't verify this but it sounds right. They also stated an alternate part # as Raybestos BH36851 if this helps anyone out.

It'll also cross to a Napa #UP BH36851 as well just to pile on...my post count is looking a little weak compared to Tito's.

I have some long hose part numbers that I've collected over the years.

Center hose on the front was not available in a longer version of stock, although a Raybestos BH36537 has the right size ends and will bolt directly to the front axle, but the upper mount is straight,not blocked like the original. All it would take is a small bracket to mount it to the upper frame. This hose is about 8" longer than stock. For the rear use a Raybestos BH36537, Wagner F98947 or F88988. As these are direct replacement, and are a good 8inches longer than stock. They will fit 66-77.
Center front hose on 76-77 was also easy. Raybestos BH38235 or Wagner F79350, both were about 5-6 inches longer than stock.

For the rear use a Raybestos BH36537, Wagner F98947 or F88988.

What is the difference between the two Wagner numbers listed above?

GREAT info, BTW!!!

I can't say what the physical difference is. I collected this info from the EBML back in 1998. I looked up the numbers and the F98947 is for a 76-79 F100-F350. The F88988 is for a 75 E100-E350.
