Only lasted 11 years.

Searched the spares bin here for a three foot piece of 1/2" Gates hose... have 3/4", 5/8", 7/16", 1/4"... NO half-inch!!! Had to actually BUY some. Unbelieveable. :wink: :jester:

Half an hour and less than a quart of coolant.

All better now.
 
Did ya repair the old hose and put it back in the parts bin?

Feel better to get that off your chest ,Doc?
 
ELEVEN years??? No delicate way to say this:

Lucky for me I'm in Chicago and Doc's way down yonder in snow bird land, otherwise I think I might be having an up close and personal meeting with that aformentioned piece of rubber pipe!

Cheap defective junk..........
 
I ~thought~ I did too, Doug. No idea where that went. It may appear as chaos here but usually I can grab whatever is needed to do a silly-simple R&R like this.
