Has anyone replaced the short (but large diameter) coolant hose that runs between the thermostat housing and water pump? I plan on taking a road trip early next year and I have never replaced any hoses on my 2004 ST. Other than normal fluid changes (coolant, oil, transmission and brake fluid) and a belt change, my ST has had minimal service requirements. In fact, Im just now replacing the OEM tires which still have adequate tread but showing some small cracks in the sidewall area. So..I'm planning on changing the main coolant hoses and perhaps replacing the thermostat itself, but I think changing out that short hose would be prudent. Anyone know how difficult? Any other comments / service suggestions (air filter replaced)? Thanks as always. (approx 60K miles / highway use only)
