OK, here's the damage broken down as follows: $175 labor, $13 hose, and $28 coolant........add in some sales tax and it totalled $220 :eek: Looks like the Noobster was closest on the poll. It probably woulda been cheaper to flyh him out here to do it :lol:
I'm going to save your post to show to show peoplw that think I'm nuts for the amount of PM I do.

Be happy that you don't have a LT1- the coolant probably would have fried the Opti. Then it would get expensive....
Sorry to hear that happened to you. If I would have gone to that GTG I would have given you a ride to an autozone or something to pick up some hose or at least something to patch it up enough for you to limp home.

I just happened to price that hose for my LT4 today at the local Chevy dealer. I think it listed for $141, not sure cause I decided to reuse my old at that price.

.
New tank from GM Parts direct = $32.77 including shipping. (surprisingly low)
New octopus hose = $84.78 including shipping. (ugh, but it's a complicated metal and rubber asembly with several hoses and tubes. At least you can still get them)
Both about 60% of normal dealer retail, even with shipping added on.

Caboboy,
I must have just missed you on the way to In-n-Out. I was driving 680 from
Cupertino. Since you had to pay a small fortune to fix up the vette,
the next burger and fries are on me..........lol
Hope to see you next Thursday.

BTW What I did is reconnect that hose from the tb to the tube under the right side cover. Pretty neat way to do tb bypass.
The above is for 96 LT4. I think some of the LT1's have a different hose layout for the tb.
