coolant system is nickle and diming me. just had the water pump replaced, along with a flush and new thermostat. next day, the thermo housing developed a hole in the elbow, had that replaced. parked truck for the weekend, drove to work today, and discovered a hose leaking behind the alternator. my thought now is to replace all of the hoses, as if one has developed a leak, it wont be long til the others follow suit.

has anyone else had similar problems, and any ballpark idea what it would cost to replace them all

YEP on my 95. Im on my 3rd radiator, 2nd thermostat (still aint put 2nd one in so its still n the seat), new water pump, new fan clutch, system flush, several hoses (each radiator hose is bout $30 each, so is each heater hose so just those 4 ur at approx $120) once ALL that was done THREE days later the lower intake gasket blew and I was once again screwing with cooling system meltdown. So if u want to replace hoses, there is not one bad thing that could come out of it except the cost maybe. And also a lil tip, while ur doin the hoses u may wana go ahead and chek ur temp sending unit and see if its wires/connectors look ok. Good luck!!

O and ALL those parts minus 1st radiator are all since FEBRUARY!!
