ok i this is weird but i replaced my radiator hoses in the summer and the bottom one blew yesterday. today my upper one blew a hole about the size of a needle. why did this happen first? and i just replaced the damn thing 6 months ago, the hoses and thermostat. drained, flushed and refilled it. i know they don't go out that fast. what am i doing wrong? i got the hoses from autozone... do i need better hoses? my motor is all stock, LS.

 

yah they should have lasted alot longer then that, maybe they were just faulty ones or just crappy ones... my suggestion is get some the good silicon hoses...

thanks but uhh thats kinda pricey dont ya think. i mean i can understand if i got some stuff done to my car and have like a fluidline or whatever radiator but im just bone stock. i was hoping like around 50.lol thanks though

 

a lot of people use them just for cosmetic, but they actually are better then the standard hoses as they can handle more pressure and they can withstand more heat... you can get them from a lot of auto stores, also you can get them off a lot of different websites like sportcompactonly.com, etc...
