Going through and replacing the cooling system in my 94 v6 4x4 standard trans. Obviously there is a upper and lower hose that need to be replaced but I am wondering what other hoses need to be replaced if I’m doing ALL the hoses in my cooling system.

I see the HPS silicone hoses that look pretty nice and seem to come with all the ones that will be replaced but what do they include.

Since I have a standard transmission does it have an oil cooler ? If it’s just an upper and lower hose and maybe one other I will prob skip the HPS brand and grab three hoses at my local parts store.

also had anyone replaced their coolant reservoir with a metal one. (I guess the hose going to that is another one to consider ).



all ears ...

 

Why?

Okay, you've got your reason. I would worry more about the heater hoses, the two hoses to the throttle body, and the especially the little looped hose in the water-bypass at the back of the engine. Those are all molded hoses; you can't replace them with stock hose. I don't know if the HPS set has the appropriate molded hoses.

The coolant reservoir is low pressure. I don't see any value to replacing it with metal. Since you need to (occasionally) monitor the level in the reservoir, and you do that by looking through the semi-transparent tank, how would that work with a metal tank?

 

Maybe I should have been more specific. But you did answer some of my questions.

I am looking to replace all of the hoses. How many heater hoses will there be ?

The looped one in the back of the engine.

upper and lower radiator.

two on the throttle body.

any others I’m missing.... pictures are great

is there oil cooler lines on a standard transmission ? On the drivers side behind the heat shield like I’ve seen on YouTube ... that might only be the auto trans

well I found this just now and it’s very close to being a complete thread on the topic. With photos and diagrams. However some questions are still left unanswered.
