Help WTB coolant hoses
This weekend I plan to remove the radiator in my '92 for cleaning, and as recommended by many of you good people I'm going to replace both the lower and the 2 upper hoses. So I went to my local Chevy dealer today and ordered the parts, my problem is the total cost for all 3 parts is about $90, Does this sound abit steep? And would I be better off going to a discount parts store like Autozone? Is their a difference in part quality, and would they be harder to install? Please let me know so I can cancel my order tomarrow morning if need be. Thanks for the help guys, I love this forum.

I stopped by Advance auto for a lower rad hose for my l-98. The girl appologised because the hose was $6.36 
It was a dayco hose and looked every bit as good as a gm or gates. The same hose from the same store, has been on my car for the last 10 years. Thought it was time to change it. Cannot believe how inexpensive it was.

I got mine from Jeremy at Fred Beans Chevrolet in PA... and those three hoses didn't total ANYWHERE near $90. If you can wait for a shipment, I'd call Jeremy. BTW... Fred Beans is a forum sponsor, just use the link.
