93 GMC,I noticed some splashings of oil under the front,get it in the garage,jack it up,clean off the upper hose as it is the wettest,run the engine,YUP and I`m thinking "Not already again",I think I just replaced those hoses,get out the service record log book and it turns out that "Not already again" is 40,000 miles,I guess that is`nt too bad,so,,I remove skid plates,get that hose out of there,call O`rielys and get a new one on the delivery wagon,it arrives and is a Dorman.
I get on the Dorman website and they have a statement that "ALL" of their products is covered under a "Limited Lifetime Warrantee" so I saved My receipt and maby next time one of the hoses/pipes begins to leak I can send it back and get a replacement or My money back.
OH Yeah,I did write it in My log book that I changed the upper hose/pipe at 246,000 miles.
HHHMMMmmm as good as this thing runs I`d bet,if I was a betting man,that this pickup will run well beyond that 1/4 million miles easy.

OH,Maby I goofed up and posted this in the wrong place,if so then PLEASE one of You mods move it with My Blessings.
I do think it is good news that Dorman will cover these problematic hoses or possibly give a refund for the hose that crapped out.
