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 believe some of the hoses on my conversion are still original at 44 years old. Just fire up old Detroit today and everything holds.
The PS hose broke 11 years ago, but it is not my first experience that hydraulic fluid is one of the most aggressive ones.
Than I had to replace 1 fuel hose becouse... the steel L on the end had corroded pinhole. (took me a while to figure out where da heck the fuel is coming from)
I replaced those 3" radiator hoses when they got close to 40 years old as precaution at the time when I was rebuilding the radiator.
Inspect, inspect, inspect and don't fall for spam like "new hoses every 5 years" or "oil change 3000"
Exactly!
