    Hi all, I am about to overhaul my after cooler. Is it best to replace the hoses as a precaution or is it OK to re use the existing hoses if they are still in good condition?

    Yes, my initial reply could have been a bit more informative in that regard, thanks Mike.

    No, if original, never been done, on like a 10+ yr old engine.

    Makes sense – thanks

    Is this what you would recommend doing every single time (1x/2 years)? Seems like overkill to me…
