Default What to replace brittle coolant overflow hoses?

Hey all,I'm about to replace the radiator and want to replace the small hoses from the over flow and throttle to the fill tank. I have used metal fuel lines the last 2 years after the originals snapped. I want a soft hose again.


Ideas please. Thanks!

The OE hoses are cheap and last more than ten years if you don't have to mess them much. Otherwise they get brittle so if you mess with them the break.

Many have used bulk rubber hose. I always just bought the OE hoses.

Thanks. It's my wife's truck and I guess I used the metal hoses in a pinch and never looked back. I was thinking they did not sell replacements. Guess I'll look online. Thanks!
