Kink in AFC line

[IRoss]

I noticed today that there is a kink in the plastic tube running from the manifold to the banjo bolt on the back of the AFC housing on the pump... . what is the importance of this tube... . i'm guessing that it possibly controls the movement of the diaphram and even though my gauge reads normal boost levels maybe this would lead to un-responsiveness in the mid-range? would i be able to replace this tube with a piece of the hose that came with my boost kit, it appears about the same diameter. . thanx for the input... .

Check in the discontinued parts forum, go back a couple years.

Amazingly, I found it on the first try... exactly what i was looking for, thanks for pointing me in the right direction... I replaced my old pot metal one with this plastic one from dodge a couple of years ago, and no, it wasn't cheap, I wonder what made it kink though... .

Are the metal ones no longer available, or you can you still get them from Cummins?

The metal ones are pieces of junk, esp with as much as you play with your timing . The upgrades from Cummins are a rubber hose instead of pot metal, but they still break if you handle them wrong.
