Last night me and a bunch of friends scraped up 10 bucks for gas and went mudding at a place about a half hour away in my chevy s10 zr2. We got up there went up a couple little sand hills and went through some stuff. then went down the gravel roads for about 20 minutes to a big sand quarry. I was climbing a sandhill in 1st gear four low and i was going up it and i heard a hissing noise and waht looked like smoke pouring out of the engine. so i shut it off and we found the radiator hose with 2 nice holes. so we call up a buddy with the only cell phone with reception that died of batterys right after. So we made a big fire in the sand pit seeing as we were in the middle of nowhere. that died out and about 3 hours later we were gettin kinda worried. finally we heard a truck and we were yellin for him and he came up we put tin foil over the holes and a bunch of electric tape and a bunch of anti freeze. it made it back and i was driving today and it blew out again. so anyone happen to know the price of a radiator hose?:devil:

The ZR2 has customs hoses made specially for Chevy, and are extremly expensive. They are like $220 a piece and you have to buy a complete set which runs $694.99.:eek2:
