Well, several here have preached to the importance of replacing heater hoses BEFORE they fail, but it appears that some of us (read me) have failed to take the warnings seriously enough.
I had purchased new hoses from the dealer a month or so back, but they still sit in a bag on my work bench where I left them after getting home from the dealer. The tow truck driver found that rather amusing.
REPLACE YOUR HEATER HOSE NOW!!!!
Wow, that blows. How old were the old hoses?

Hey did you know we just had a tech day in Frisco this last Saturday! :nutkick:
This coming Saturday morning I'll be in Mineral Wells at the S2K autocross.
Yep... Saturday was Father-Daughter day... Didn't you see the 2 year old attached to my hip when I stopped by? :wink: I think I need to wait a few more years before I let her start working under the hood.Quote:
