I have a 09 SS/TC and trying to find a diagram online of the vaccum lines on the engine and what each is called because I got a few to replace. Anyone know where to find a diagram and where's the best place to buy the hoses? Or is there a site that sells the hoses and shows where each is located on the engine?? Been looking for hours and can't find what I need! Any help would be appreciated!

Just buy like 10 feet or so and pull the ones off the car and cut them to length and there u go

I thought about that. I didn't know if that was ok to do Or not.

You use the factory pinch clamps or has anyone switched them all out with worm gear clamps instead? Just asking because I work on a assembly line for John Deere and I see where the pinch clamps don't hold up so we replace them with the worm gear clamps

If you can find worm gear clamps that fit then go for it. The pinch clamp works well for smaller lines not so good for larger lines.

I got a bunch of different sizes. Just having trouble finding the hose that's on the front of the engine manifold on the right hand bottom side a bigger hose maybe 3/4-1" in diameter. Runs out and bends back by oil filter and goes back. Any idea what that hose is called? Cannot find where to buy that hose or what it's called? Others I can get from a hardware store.

That's the brake booster line. Goes to brake booster . I don't even use clamps on some of my hoses I just use a zip tie, works just as well if not better

I hate the pinch clamps. Absolutely junk.
