Hey guys. What''s the solution to heater hoses on these cars? I bought my daughter a really clean ''96 with the 3.8. After two months of driving it, it developed a pinhole in one of the heater hoses. To make a long story short, she drove it with no water until it cooked a head. I tore it down and thankfully, it did not crack the head. Anyway, I went to the Chevrolet dealer and the heater hose assy(both hoses) have been discontinued by GM. He is doing a search, but so far no luck. What are my options? I hate to piece something together because it needs to be dependable. Thanks for the help

Hose clamp with a piece of rubber under it... Would think that would hold up for awhile.

No, the whole length of the hose leaving the engine is soft all the way to the crimped fitting. I can''t come up with anything that wouldn''t worry me later. Especially where the plastic clamps screw on to the alt. bracket. Any help out there?.............
