I ended up purchasing what they called their LS conversion fitting for the power steering pump from Dirty Dingo in Arizona. It is a 16mm1.5 adapter that threads into the late model pump. The other end is a female inverted 3/8 SAE flare fitting. Then went to Car Quest and bought the p/n 35523 pressure line. It is one of two listed for the truck. It has male fittings on both ends one is 3/8 the other 7/16. Eliminated one fitting which is one less place to have a leak develop. Also will not rest on or near the block. The other hose listed for our trucks has a female 3/8 fitting on one end and the 7/16 male on the other which is what I initially was dealing with. Just a FYI!
