Well, the good thing was, it was parked when it did it, wasn't running. I had just shut it down.
Never thought twice about how old they were, really, because I had just asked my mechanic to change ALL hoses out when they did the timing belt, waterpump, etc. so those 2 hoses shouldn't have been an issue. Thing was, when I called him on it, he said he didn't change them because they looked brand-new, and they did, the outside appearance of them made you think they were new.
The primary hoses get changed every 2yrs, whether or not they need it - guess I'd done forgot about the heater hoses on this truck cause they're not exactly in view, so you tend to forget.
Lesson learned, they'll be done every 2 yrs from now on, just like the primary hoses.
