Rad hoses: when to replace them? there's no sign of deterioration at the present time. There's certainly a lifespan on those rad hoses and never been replaced on my brick: '95 with 110K on the clock.

If they feel soft or are bulging at the clamps, it is time to change them. The hoses are made alot better then they used to be, my wifes car has about 90K miles on it and i asked a shop to change the hoses and they told me they were fine and did not need changed, they said they are made much better now and last alot longer.

Find a honest shop and let them look at it for you.
