I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. About a year ago I was flying down the highway going to my summer rental and when getting off the highway down shifted into 4th and blew my radiator hose. The hose that comes off the top of the water pump and makes a 90 degree bend twice as it goes into the metal coupling at the top of the block. The car had about 55000 miles on it at the time and I replaced the ose. Later I found out that this is not uncommon and there is an upgraded hose out there but I am unable to find it. All the dealer ships I have called have the original part number hose. Just wondering if anyone out there knows if the hose is an upgrade and they just kept the same code or if I need to be looking for a different hose?
Any help would be appreciated.
