Angry If you replace any cooling parts, get all of the hoses too!

Several of you may remember my tank needing replacement after it cracked. I replaced it and all of the hoses I could get at the time. The dealer did not have the three large hoses that go underneath, in front of the engine so I decided to change those in a few weeks when I can get them from Sunset.

Well, today the $100 of new coolant is all over the local Kroger parking lot! After yesterday's hard driving in the mountains (mucho fun! ), one of those three hoses I could not replace blew this afternoon when my wife turned off the car and went in the store.
