Welcome to TTS NJ.
Remove the intake to get the hoses properly replaced.
And Will L will warn You about using only SAE30 R9 hose.
About the only thing that the parts stores carries is R4.
Might be a good diesel shop in Your area that packs the R9 hose.
 
Thank you Mr.Marty......I got an intake gasket and the right hoses today.....only thing now is getting my old broke up self under the hood....This is my first GM 6.2, the couple that bought it new pulled a camper and kept crazy info on every thing ever done to the old truck..I think it will make me a good play toy....I will say this and I have had a Power Stroke way back, this 6.2 is very loud....thanks again......."Peace"

Also, a piece of clear 1/4” fuel hose, about six inches long.
Remove that black rubber hose in a sort of an upside down U from off the front of the injection pump to the return pipe/tube off the front left side of the engine. Install that clear hose in its place.
Start the engine with clear hose in place.
Watch for air bubbles, or even a foamy appearance.
If You see any of that with the enjun running there is a source of air intrusion.
Leave the clear hose in place so if ever there is any issues of rough running or hard to start, that hose will be there for a diagnostic purposes.
 
Welcome to TTS @nitrojim were all here to help in most any way we can. sounds like you have you a well cared for rig. post up some pictures when you can, we all love to see a little truck porn LOL.

fill in you signature in your account details about your truck and everything that has been done along it's life. all this info will show up each time you post for all to see and will remind us what were working on and make a plan of attack.

there's lots of great down to earth folks here ready to lend a hand and will give the shirt off their back for others. One of the best forums and group of people I have ever came across.

Feel free to browse around and chime in on other threads too. we don't just talk about trucks, we talk about everything under the sun here :)
