Morning all. I have a ongoing thread but just took my 2011 Yukon xl Denali with 93k on it down from pa to fl and stopped by tire kingdom for wheel balance and alignment before leaving and they said I should do a serpentine belt and upper and lower radiator hoses with a flush before heading back. Oh and the total was $753!! Lol Upon my inspection the top hose is totally fine and the lower hose is definitely a little old and soft but looks ok(see below) to me. Stopped by a small local guy and he laughed and said they have quotas to meet and looked at it as well. Said the belt is definitely worn but shouldn’t break anytime soon and the hoses looked fine and wouldn’t touch it until I got home. My thoughts are to buy a lower hose and 6 gals of antifreeze to have with me if I really need it? Planning on leaving Saturday morning. Thoughts?
