When to change hoses on a Diesel Pusher ??
I have an 04 Diesel Pusher with a Cummins 8.3 350hp, side radiator. Just curious if there's a recommendation on when to change the hoses due to age. It has about 40,000 miles. Thanks Brian

I had mine replaced at Gaffney 2 years ago May at 15 years 8 months old while having the engine thermostat changed out for 1st time. And the antifreeze was due for a change.
Next antifreeze change will be due in 6 years. So I figured it was time to change the hoses then. And not when they are 21 years old at next antifreeze change. which I will do myself.
After he thermostat change, the engine ran a littler cooler on hills.
Still running the over 17 year old OEM hydraulic lines.
I will wait for a leak or burst on them. Or it may never happen.
I will keep ERS on it. :)
