Title: 91 Grand Villa Hose Replacment
Post by: stump on November 09, 2014, 06:22:44 pm
I finnished up my hose replacement today,All hoses front to back have been replaced with the exception of 2 that go to the water heater heat exchanger. Without removing water tanks it is virtually impossible. All other coolant tube hoses,Transmission cooler hoses have been replaced. I installed water shutoff valves at the engine in case anything forward was to get a leak, I will be able to shut off water flow and keep on going. The lower radiator hose is not available anymore, Foretravel did not have one and Gates no longer makes it. So I had BH coolant tubes make me a stainless steel 90 nipple and used 3''id straight hose to fabricate a lower hose. Should I ever need to service it 3'' straight hose is available everywhere. Now about 19 gallons of antifreeze and we should be able to go for a weekend ride somewhere!
