Joy of 6

I have a 2002 Z and 55k miles. I do track the car and so wondering what a recommended time or mileage combo would be advisable for replacing all the hoses. They all feel and look good but I want to avoid an unnecessary and expensive journey to my engine guru
thanks

Easy preventive maintenance. Probably not a bad time to flush your coolant as well.

Go to NAPA and get the ECR hoses. They last years and don't corrode from the inside out nearly as badly as hoses of the past.

Better than stock? Are the big dia hoses the priority--more likely to fail?

SouthernSon

They are stock, NEW stock from Gates. They have learned how to eliminate most corrosion and now, I suppose, all of their hoses are ECR. (Little tag on hose says so. )

Sounds good--I take it these ECR hoses are not unique to NAPA? I don't know where we have one here. We have some Autozones (>Advanced auto) though.

SouthernSon

That, I don't know. Call Mikey and tell him you need a NAPA in your neighborhood. As long as the hose has that ECR label taped around it, you're good to go.
