PCV hose fitment issue

[Seeburg220]

My '01 5.3L Tahoe has a hard plastic PCV pipe that runs from the PCV valve to the intake. It is pre-bent and has a soft foam rubber cover over the hard plastic piping.

I ordered a replacement hose for it through Rock Auto, and received a GM OEM hose, but it's too short and bent in the wrong direction. No way it's gonna fit and I checked the part # and they sent what is supposed to be, the right part. If I wanna replace it still, I guess I'll have to go with a roll of PCV hose from the auto parts store.

Anyone else come across this problem ?


Hose from my engine is on the left vs. the one sent to me.

Is the new one an update and you need to find out why the update says to use this and maybe something else like HiHoe says?

You can use 3/8” fuel line like Nate said. I see 2 different hoses listed on RA for your truck, one looks like the one you need.

Ya, you're right. It looks like they made two different versions and I need the other one. Thanks for spotting that !
