Within the past 2 or 3 weeks i am starting to get pin hole leaks in my coolant hoses, luckly they are at the base and i can just cut them and put the hose and clamp back on. I was wondering, can someone give me a ROUGH estimate of that EVERY SINGLE hose that goes to the radiator, and from water pump to heater core costs (the metal ones on the passenger side that lead to firewall)? I wanna take this thing to a shop and get them ALL replaced, cant live with this worry of a hose going when i am driving, espeicaly a long distance. Anyone?

 

anyone?

 

Considering that I finally figured that I would have to pull the motor to get the metal heater hose lines out, I expect it would be a lot. Got a Dremel? It's easy to cut through the swage pieces and put on new hose lines in place. I am out $100 for a Goodyear "High Miler" hose kit, an afternoon in labor and 10 pipe clamps. BTw if yours are original, I'm not surprised they are leaking. Most people recommend replacement every 3 years. Mine went 5 and they still looked fairly good.

 

PULL THE MOTOR?!?!! Its 2 heater core hoses that down the passenger side wheel well. There HAS to be an easier way, anyone ever replace the heater core hoses?

 

Mtrhds94Z has done the Goodyear high miler kit on his 94. He can tell you what is involved, but it will be like JohnD said. If you get a new GM hose set, it will be complete with both inlet and outlet hose assemblies (metal and rubber, like the original ones). Pretty sure I have read posts of people putting in the GM hose set, but it was a real pain.
