What i did on my car is tAke the stock rubber/steel combo lines out and just run rubber, on the heads/cam car i cut the hydraulic crimps off the steel lines, removed the rubber from then and installed new rubber with hose clamps.

Yes but in that spot the op and myself are referring to is tough to get to unless you take off some parts.

It's not fun anymore. The car still has issues and I don't want to take the chance of the car leaving me on the side of the road. It's happened more times than I care to say.

Well honestly..if u want a car that has no issues (and even then it could still happen) what ur lookin for is a NEW car with a full warranty.

Not sure if you've read some of my previous post Popo, but my car IS new, well mechanically anyway. I've replaced every component, sensor, emission and the fuel pump. My block only has 46k and my heads and rear axle (fully rebuilt) have less then half that. Seriously, what more is needed to be able to just take the car for ride from time to time without having problems? My blazer has 219k on it and will start up and run with no problems. My point is, I know all cars have issues and parts break down but to be totally unreliable even after replacing nearly everything can only mean my car is now a lemon.

Ive read everything uve posted. Unfortunately its not "new" by ur doing but rather what the previous owner has told u. Clearly from some of ur issues its been clear that things as simple as hoses were not NEW. soooo that term ...NEW...is not something u can use for a car thats well intonits teens NO MATTER how much stuff is replaced. My 96 has NEW everything...and its still 18 years old...thats part of the car game. If ur car has a problem..till u fix it PROPERLY...its only going to remain as reliable...or UNRELIABLE as it was before the problem was improperly addressed each time prior. Now im not sayin ur doin anything wrong...what im saying is...if uve thrown part after part after it... and u continue to have the same problem...well then u didnt address the issue that was ur problem and its notngoing to miraculously become "reliable." NOW...with that said... as i posted above, if reliable as a new car is what ur lookin for... then a NEW CAR (2014) is what u should be lookin for.

Well the hoses have been replaced and it is back up and running again. I am really going to need to eventually get this retuned, as it runs really fat. Now I need to get to a junk yard and get the part to fix the driver window and hopefully be in pretty good shape.
