Blown Top Radiator Hose

    So it looks like my top radiator hose seperated in the middle where it looks like 2 hoses are sealed together. It is the left most junction. I doubt this is reason for concern, just replace it right?

    Is this something that is covered by the 50k powertrain warrenty?

    Would I be better just buying a hose kit like Turbo XS or just doing it myself with a new stock hose?

    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    FYI, I recently had to replace that hose. The radiator fan was cutting into it and the hose finally gave out. Make sure you "choke up" on the hose mountings to keep the hose away from the fan.

    I have also seen where the altanater pulley has eaten a hose as well

    Looks like the hose popped where it was rubbing on that hard line. Mine did the same thing. Just spend the $7 and replace it yourself.
