 You haven't been paying attention,Frank.
 It's a universal complaint/fix for V8Q
 owners, I don't know any that haven't 
 had to change these hoses because of
 deterioration.

 As for the synthetic oil thread, the problem as
 discussed ad infinitem on this list before, is 
 that dino juice leaves a waxy buildup on the 
 seals/gaskets. When synthetic is introduced it
 has a tendency to clean away this build up, 
 exposing long dry seals that start to leak.

 Rule of thumb was something like 60K+ miles on 
 dino juice, keep using dino juice.

 BCNU,
