$340 to repair a loose hose clamp 
Would removing or loosening this hose be something a shop would do when draining/flushing/refilling the coolant ??? |
Not talking to the void at all. I was dealing with pavement sealing my driveway and cleaning nine outdoor equipment carburetors in the ultrasonic hot tank yesterday so I didn't check in here. Still have three to go and one is a beast to get to down inside a ZTR mower.
If that hose is nasty to get to I doubt a shop would mess with it flushing the coolant. Surprising she got away with it from MT to MI and MI to CO towing a gooseneck with horses inside. She must be living right cause the good lord is looking out for her.
