Title: Need all new antifreeze-radiator hoses on Cummins
Post by: dans96u295ft on June 20, 2020, 06:32:22 pm
Power washed the underside today and I noticed all of my antifreeze hoses are old and in need of replacement. Are these Cummins products or are there FT specific hoses as well. I want to have it done but I want to get the parts before so it isn't sitting at the mechanics for 2 weeks waiting for parts. There are some pretty strange looking hoses between pipes and so on that look to me to probably be FT design not Cummins
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

On my '99 U320 all the hoses were listed in the manual that came on the coach. Had Gates numbers. Maybe Beam Alarm site would have the numbers if you don't have the original book that came with the coach.

Good idea. Yes, I have the book. Thanks for reminding me

Are you sure they are not silicone hoses? They would be green  under the paint. They are usually good for several lifetimes of the coach.

Wish mine were silicone, not. 2 of the small elbow hoses were though.

All in the manual by number and brand. And some are one hose, cut in 2 parts, at least on my Cat. Found them all on ebay. High quality 1/2 price.

BTW, heater hose's run full length, front to rear, stopping off at the water heater.

I changed mine a couple of weeks ago. The lower radiator hose is silicone and is Foretravel specific. I got all others from NAPA.
