same size? Anyone know what size it is (inner diameter)? Parts departments are all closed until Monday and the last one I called wanted $55.95 for the hose and didn't have it available. It doesn't seem like it would be too big of a deal of I just replaced it with a hose of the same size without the bends...

Default $35.43 at worldimpex.

I don't see why you couldn't use one that fits without the bends. Usually, you just take off the hose and bring it into Napa or a store as such to match it up. That works if you have a second car handy. Otherwise, WorldImpex has the hose for much less than the dealer.

I just replaced it with a $2 5/8" hose. Works fine! The OEM clamps were a b*tch though..

Default that's cool. I like it when things work out like that...

is it that small return hose going back into the reservoir? If so, I wouldn't want to buy one of those for even $35..let alone $55 at the dealer! Nice job finding an alternative.

It was the hose that went from the oil cooler to the pipe that leads to the radiator.
