Default Upper Radiator hose

My upper radiator hose is cracked on my 1998 and needs to be replaced. I figured I could just do it myself, but I'd like to use a SS braided hose for dress-up I guess. I looked on summit, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the legnth/diameter of the hose I need... a part number would be AWESOME!

Thanks guys,

Sam

you don't have a clue how much braided SS hose costs, do you? you can get the look like covers for the stock hoses for a lot less money, but if you want the real thing, you will need to shell out about $100 or more for the proper hose with the correct fittings to fit your engine. why don't you take yours off and measure it for yourself!

just paintem like another color other than chrome, because I KNOW you wont just do an engine in complete chrome.

or get the hi miler hose kits for around 100. They're blue, plus they have a much higher life then regular ones.

The braided hoses are very nice... Very dressy...

But Ive never seen the point in dressin up a stock motor lol Doesnt make them any more interesting or faster lol

No.... I looked at them..... I figured it was either $100 for the kit including hoses I don't need replaced (just did some recently).

An SS cover would be worht looking into I suppose. I don't want to take it out and measure it b/c I don't want to have to fool with it until I have to (daily dirver). A diameter SS or not would be helpful... thanks
