RE: 93 cooling system
Suggestions for replacement hoses? Nope; don't know.
BUT, when you pull the old ones off of the heater core nipples, be VERY careful - you can crack the joints at the core, and ruin the core. Gargantuan PAIN to replace...
Pinch a little of the hose with some pliers, and spray some armor all at the hose end. It will get back in under the hose, and then you can just pinch the hose a few more times, and it will work loose. Make sure you have no pressure on the pipe itself, and DON'T twist. If the hose doesn't easily slide off, push onward, and it should break free the rest of the way.
