Heater Hoses Made To Last!

The heater hoses have never been changed because they are still OK.  See for yourself.

If they are original take em off and hang them in the garage. Put new ones on as they are prone to burst on a hot summer day due to the rubber deteriorating from the inside where you cannot see. Good insurance for great cars. Also replace the radiator top and bottom hoses as well. I do this with all of my vehicles about every 6 years.

You make an excellent point about the hoses deteriorating from the inside.  The upper and lower radiator hoses have been replaced within the last 10-12 years.  Oh my, they're overdue too!  My bad!!!  This will be a number one project in the spring of '08 that will top my list.  Again, a great point you made.
