mattmattyxcore Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 OK, I will check it out a bit closer the next time I get a chance. I would like to change the coolant soon because I've never done it. (and I'm assuming PO never did either) If things are looking soft, I will just add a rubber spacer between the clamp and the tubing. If things look worse for wear, I guess I'll have to look for some NEW hoses, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr00b Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think all new hoses and a jug of coolant (straight not 50/50) was not more than $50 at Advance Auto. After 2000 miles, the goofy hoses seem to have sort of "melted" into the proper shape and my gripes about fitment aren't as bad as I thought. Couldn't sleep so went out and worked on the leggy...

monkeyposeur Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Get new hoses! I thought mine were fine on my SS until one the upper rad hose blew apart while my wife was driving home from work. She almost destroyed the engine because she kept driving and all of the coolant leaked out. Engine overheated but it seems fine now. I bought new OEM upper and lower hoses from the Dealer. I have replaced almost every coolant line at this point. I have two more to go and I have the replacement hoses sitting here. But it is only 5 degrees out during the day so I'm not in a hurry to go outside and freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmattyxcore Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have a couple jugs of coolant already for both of my cars so its just a matter of getting the hoses. New it is then, anybody happen to know inside/outside diameters of hoses as well as pressure figures? I know I can just pick them up from advance auto boys or wherever but I want to explore one alternate option that may or may not be beneficial to us.
