I experienced one of those failures in my '89. Upper radiator hose blew late one Saturday afternoon a few miles south of beautiful, downtown Frackville PA on I-81. It may well have been the original upper hose.
Got towed to an ancient gas station (one that mostly catered to domestic pickup trucks) in the middle of town. Had all sorts of 2-inch and larger radiator hoses hanging from the rafters. Lucked out and saw a midget peeking out from amongst the giants .... "will *that one* fit?" ... and it fit perfectly.
Each of the 900s now gets new upper hoses every 3 or 4 years.
