heater hose Posted by Bill Homer [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: ...now the real story..., Henry Crigler, Thu, 4 Nov 2004 10:41:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The "flared" part of the heater hose is a frequent failure point - hottest location, restrictive flow, a bend, etc. Other posters have stated that trans fluid in the coolant (which does enter via the radiator) will eat up hoses, so the radiator leak may have sped up the hose failure.
In addition to replacing the radiator, you may want to thoroughly flush both the cooling system and transmission. Some have stated to replace all the coolant hoses while you are at it. And the heater hose goes through the false firewall for only a few inches, a pretty easy replacement.
