4th gen heater core hoses

[JoeliusZ28]

Does anyone know of a source for these (new)? i just drained my coolant and was thinking it would be a good idea to replace all the hoses since they are almost 20 years old now and reliability is my goal. These things are quite a creation, im guessing they are expensive... On that note, has anyone had any trouble with these things failing? Should i just replace the main hoses and let these go?

Edit: in case itmwasnt obvious i checked oreilys/advanced site already. My company which produces these kind of components would have sold the design off to a service brand (or just canned it) a while ago with the age of these cars. Otherwise i could probably score a set from there.

I looked years ago when I was doing the v6 to v8 swap. The dealer was the only place I found that had them new, and they were running in the $250 range then.

I bought an used set off of a low miles car in TX.

A used set is still going to be at least 11 years old, at best. New is going to make you grab your ankles. They aren't likely to fail so aftermarket companies don't like to pick them up.

Joel, try http://Rockauto.com i saw a whole kit made by goodyear for $116. they have other individual hoses, but i think buying them seperate would cost quite a bit more..

That hose kit can also be Found here.

eBay has more and more of the odds and ends pieces to rebuild a car. With our cars being almost 20 years old, it makes sense, but weird to see.

*Sigh* - I'll chance it on 17 year old hoses before I put a bunch of nasty blue in my engine bay

Yeah the heater hoses were already linked on eBay (though Mike's link is an even better price) - there's a ton of them on ebay.
