Hi All,
In terms of normal/preventative maintenance, how often would you replace the rubber radiator and heater hoses? I'm not sure mileage is a good indicator since I only drive about 1,000 miles per year. Every 6, 8 or 10 years? Or "as needed" based in inspection?
I replaced my radiator hoses in 2008. But, the heater hoses are 14 years old (they date back to the restoration in 2000).
Last thing I want is to loose a rad hose on the road. Even worse would be losing an interior heater hose and spilling hot coolant all over the interior floor.
Thanks
Bob
