Many kudos to Hilltoppersx for spotting my coolant leak while we worked on the 3 amigos. Going to replace the Throttle body heater plate this weekend. Is it advisable to replace the hoses as well?

 

I assume you are talking about the throttle body HEATER PLATE? then it probably wouldn't hurt to refresh the hoses, but not necessarily a must if the hoses are in good shape. DO however, replace the clamps with worms style clamps instead of the crappy "snap" clamps that come from the factory. Good luck with the fix!

 

Matt, i think your hoses are fine. I would replace the clamps with the worm clamps like Rob said. and double check the rest of your worm clamps to make sure they are tight. if you run into any problems give me a call im around saturday.

 

yes, the heater plate, my bad. Thanks for the advice on the clamps guys.
