Just a friendly reminder to get out there and check/replace all your hoses

 

 

happened to the wife in our 91 loyale on her way home from work. Since she was only about a mile from home, she ignored the loud clattering from the car and the red on the temp gauge

 

Anywho, I'll check on it some more tomorrow to see if any damage was done

and while the 20 people who viewed this thread are checking their hoses, make sure you check the small hose going to the resevoir. The hose on this car was about 95% blocked, possibly contributing to this blowout.

 

Don't want your significant other (or yourself) to get stuck somewhere because of a blown hose.

Also note the hose from the water pump upto heater tube. Hoses from tubes to heater core and back. Small hoses behind the throttle body. And the ever evasive little hose down under the intake manifold from the block. Prolly hidden really well by you ppl who have power steering still

 

Make sure your clamps are on tight!
