Coolant hoses
I needed to replace my radiator, so "while I was in there" I figured I'd replace the coolant hoses as well.
I was able to locate the upper radiator hose, Bypass hose, and the short hose from the thermostat housing to radiator. I can't seem to locate the "engine hose" that goes from the thermostat housing to the water pump. I know Jerry has silicone hose sets, but I am looking for an original style Rubber hose (not used). Anyone know where I can get one? How do you get that hose out? It's pretty crowded in there. Thanks.

Re: Coolant hoses
Last I looked Haibeck sells hoses for the LT5.

Re: Coolant hoses
The engine hose goes from the back of the thermostat housing to the water pump. If you look from the passenger side you will see the hose. It curves up and over to the water pump and has a wire coil on the inside.
If you remove the oil filter you will have extra room to work on it. I noticed when JVD installed the hose to the water pump side he used two clamps vs one to prevent it from leaking.

Re: Coolant hoses
If you still need the OEM hose(s) send me a PM, I am sure I have a set.

Re: Coolant hoses
I've got a complete set of take offs from a 9,700 mile 91' if youre looking to "keep it stock" or NCRS. I've got a few NOS factory spring clamps too.

Re: Coolant hoses
My 92 only has 22K miles, but the hoses are 28 years old..... Since things are apart, I wanted to replace with newer rubber.
Car had a bad oil leak at one time (oil cooler hose leak) and the lower hoses are oil soaked.

Re: Coolant hoses
My 94 has 170,000 miles on it but heater hoses so far are fine. Oil soaked - not sure of degradation.

Re: Coolant hoses
The weather finally cooperated this weekend. New coolant hoses installed, new thermostat, new Dewitts radiator.
Also replaced a leaking secondary vacuum switch, new vacuum check valve, replaced the DIS with a used spare (trying to fix a code 43 issue). Plenum goes back on next weekend. I'll be taking the ECM to work this week to check for bad solder joints and the like.
