Hoses to replace
Hey everyone,
My 5000CSTQ has over 90k miles on it and it still has all the original
hoses. I know that some of these hoses need replacement soon. My question is,
which hoses should I replace soon? Or, which ones wear out fastest or are most
crutial?
I know I need to replace the lower radiator hose, so I will probably ju
st replace all the hoses coming into and going out of the radiator. I also hav
e to replace the hose that feeds out of the hydraulic oil reservoir. I also no
ticed, while looking around the engine compartment the other day, that one of t
my hoses, I think for some exhaust rerout air thing (not real sure what it is,
as you can tell) is very weak...and looks like it has already gone bad. I was
also wondering what other things I should look at at this point? I think it mi
ght be wise for me to start replacing some of the vaccum hoses....any reccomend
ations?....How do you tell which of these are bad?
I am also going to replace the fuel filter soon. I've heard that the gas
oline inside is under such extreme pressure that gasoline sprays everywhere whe
n you start removing it. But, I've also heard there's a way to relieve some of
this pressure before removal. Would any of you know how to do this?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
Later,
Dan
