hey guys tonight when was around 30 seconds from my house one of the three rubber insulated hoses going into the firewall held on by hose clamps compltely shreded. I wasn't racin around or anything just a 2 minute drive and it shreaded came up my driveway into the light and saw a huge cloud of steam. The hose I need to replace goes kind of under the intake manifold and it held radiator fluid. Am I going to need to remove the intake manifold to fix this? should I replace all the other hoses? what type of radiator fluid should I run, the green right? Just making sure if I have to take the intake manifold off the gaskets are not reusable right?
Does anyone possibly know the diameter of the hose and if its just regular heater/radiator hose? I cant see enough tonight and I wont have a car tomarrow to go get the hose once I find out but my mom said she would get the hose I needed but I cant tell her what to get until I take it off to find out what diameter it is.
I would really, really appreciate any help on this.
thanks in advance for any input
