Parts getting harder to get!

[OldSkoolGP]

My upper radiator hose was leaking today, so I tried to get a new one. After calling Checker, Napa, the DEALER, Advanced Auto Parts, and Bumper to Bumper, I finally found one at Bumper to Bumper. I mean, I know these engines were uncommon, and maybe GM just as soon would like to forget they ever made them, but COME ON!!! How hard is it to stock a radiator hose! AFAIK, it's the same throughout the 91-97 range. I hope this isn't a precursor of things to come in the very near future.

I thought the 96/97 were different.

Well rockauto is fine and I have bought from them before, but when you need it today, ti becomes more of a problem.

actually the upper rad hose from 94-97 are different due to bigger rads and different location of the upper hose nipple. so perhaps you should keep that in mind when buying a hose. i picked mine up from advance np. if bad comes to worse you can make a new hose.
