Where to get a new upper radiator hose

I put on one of those dumb chrome water necks because my old one wouldnt come off the manifold. anyways it changed the angle on the hose and kinked it a little wich was fine at the time but now it ripped at the connection to the radiator. where can i get one of those flex hoses? and how much do they cost?

You can get a regular rubber flexhose at your local parts store. I got mine at napa, works and looks great. At the most its 20 bucks.

70 bucks for a rad hose??


Any parts store like Autozone or Pep Boys should carry one. Did you get the wrong neck or something?

Re: Where to get a new upper radiator hose

thanks for the replys im sure ill just get a one from nappa but for the time being found that it wasnt the hose. i just thought it was but when i took it off the nipple on the radiator that the hose actually clamps to cam out with it... damn cheap autozone radiators. this is the 2nd one ive had replaced in less than 6months. this one didnt even have 4000 miles on it yet. but i replaced it and its fine now.
