Anyone know where I can get a lower radiator hose for a 2002 Prowler? My local dealer said they are on back order and I can't find one at any auto part stores. This message has been edited by glenh2nd on 04-06-2009 at 01:43 PM |

Well this one stumped me today! I thought,,,,,,how can that be = NO HOSES? I checked the AC Delco listings > none listed. I checked the NAPA listings > none listed. Same at Carquest.... Gates Rubber Co. > same thing. and one other hose company > same result. Maybe someone with Goodyear connections, can check for us? Isn't this a bunch of crap? Need a radiator hose,,,you'll have to wait until they make some |

if 10 of the biggest pats co.dont have one,i doubt you will get one.looked for the lwr hose,i thought i had and its a upper not lower.you might try a 99 dodge intrepid,or a 04 chrysler 300m,w/same v6 might work.same hose where it comes off the motor,maybe diff.at other end maybe.no release date for prowler hose yet. ------------------ This message has been edited by catfish on 04-07-2009 at 01:16 PM |

This may be a dumb reply, but here goes. You used to be able to purchase a corrugated radiator hose that had a coil spring inside. These hoses would bend without crimping, thus preventing collapsing. I do not know if they are still available or even if it would work. It might be worth a bit of investigation. |

I have seen advertisements that pep boys will make custom hoses and brake lines. you may be able to have them fabricate one for you. |

Paul, I believe they are referring to making hydraulic hoses,,,ie, power steering, etc. Not radiator hoses... |

Take the hose off the car, Take to an Auto Parts store, I am sure they could come up with a close match. |

I agree with Phil,,,,,,,,,,,,take the hose into a parts store like NAPA, Carquest, Pep Boys,,,etc. They may have something close that might work. |

maybe NAPA if they know you & you can do it yourself.other wise the rest of the A/P chains will need the size of your brakes/exhaust /with or without AC/auto or stick,the list goes on.its not like it used to be. |

Look in the yellow pages for a hose a rubber company. If there are industrial plants in your area they need hoses fabricated. |

Finally got a reply back from parts.com 8 days later. "Your part is on back order." Duh, never dealing with them again. Yea, I'm taking the hose over to my local auto parts store and see if I can get something close. |

If you are in a real pinch and can find something close except for one bend? You might consider splicing two hoses together. There are hose spice kits available to help with this. Just a thought. |
