has goodyear redesigned their hose setup to include everything instead of being an incomplete kit? or is it still missing major hoses?

 

kabump for the night crowd

 

The Hi Miler is a good kit.. and is missing one of the eleven hoses [one length of 3/4 heater hose that can be worked around with a regular piece of heater hose] It isn't really that big a deal..
I wrote Goodyear about this, and was assured they would re-engineer it... [but I don't think they ever will..]
That was last fall... ...
On shoebox' hose diagrams:

It is # 15 that's missing....
I used, instead, a piece of 3/4" 'heater hose', cut to about 14 1/2" [the p/n for the GM replacement hose for this hose, preformed, is: 'heater inlet front hose' GM p/n 10146991 $32.29 GM list, [same p/n for 93-4 and 95-7]

I also found that using a straight piece of 3/4 hose instead of the 'elbow' [#12 in diagram] worked better too, as the 14 1/2" piece isnt 'preformed' [bent] to match up well with the elbow...

I also used this as an opportunity to 'upgrade' from the 93-4 hose configuration to the 95-7, [since there isn't a Hi Miler for the early years..]
I feel the 95-7 is a better setup...
Hope that helps you...

 

TTT, as I edited the above post...

 

Just bought one in Aug. of 2004 and it is still missing that hose. For $100, you would think they could include them all. It's upsetting, because I want all the hoses to match, which is impossible now, since I can't find bulk blue hi-miler hose anywhere. It looks like a hack job to have them all replaced except one.

 

A search here:

Got these results:

2. 45 miles Partsource # 750

Maybe try them for the 3/4" heater hose:
p/n 65075 3/4" 6' Bagged

You need about 14.5"
I have some 3/4" here, but it'd be a pain to ship to Canada, and it was pricey too..

 

Wow! I agree how hard could it be for GY to fix that careless problem.

 

Mtrhds94Z, thanks for the reply! I checked out PartSource and they would have to order it in with a week delivery. I wanted to get this done while the engine is still out of my car. It would be a pretty tough job with the engine in.

I ended up going to a truck (semi) parts store and bought some blue silicone heater hose (made by Goodall). Supposed to be better than the Goodyear EPDM rubber, but it is stupidly expensive ($5.80/ft).
