20 year old hoses

I was at Freightliner Gaffney this summer for belts and valve lash on my 05.

Factory hoses. I asked them to check the hoses and advise and he told me they were fine. They squeeze them and check for cracks. If they’re still soft, flexible and no cracks leave them.

Buying replacements might not be a bad idea.

I have kept up on all the fluid and filter changes. I'm just concerned about the hoses.

If you have a long road trip planned I would change them out. Do they feel stiff? They may be hard to find. Better to buy them while at home rather than on the road.
