Check hose rad. hoses!!! Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Today while just thumbing through the bay I figured I'd just squeeze the top radiator hose right out of the therm hoseing, before the AC thermo switch. Well in a particualr place my finger seemed to go into the middle of the line. After later inspection, the inner layers of the hose had cracked, leaving only the outer rubber linning keeping me together. Upon further inspection when I removed the hose for replacement, I noted that they were stamped with the date of 10-90. Well my car being a '91, wow these are the origional freaking hoses! I am religous in all aspect of caring for my car, but i had NO idea that they were the origional hoses or they would have been gone when I purchased the car almost 2 years ago.
I am very thankful that the hose did not blow on my recent trips to Pittsburgh 2x (850M) or to my camping trip at Burr Oak State Park with the crew team (310M).
I am now in the process of ordering all new coolent hoses. 90deg head hose, lower radiator, heater coil in/out. Are there any others?
