[LT1] Power steering hose - again!

[rant]

Went to the track on Wednesday night and got in line for tech inspection and noticed that my steering felt weird. I popped the hood and there was power steering fluid everywhere! This is the 2nd hose to go this year on this car.

I just ordered the Doug Rippie replacement @ $99, hopefully this one will do the job. Has anyone else on here A) had problems with the hose or B) ordered the Doug Rippie replacement version? I guess this one is an Aeroquip stainless steel braided line with good fittings and such.

Your problems will go away with this hose. I went through a few GM hoses till I smartened up and got the DRM kit.

I also broke a stock hose. I did not know at the time DRM sold a better one. Anyway, I put a underdrive crank pulley-an so far so good. This was done over 2 years ago.
