Dust Bunnies in the coolant
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced snowflake or thin rubber bits in their coolant and if so where did it come from? I suctioned out some coolant today to add redline water wetter in anticipation of a road trip and in the bottle I saw rubber bits again. I've previously shop-vacced rubber chunks out of the Rad inlets.
Virtually every hose that can be reasonably reached with two human hands has been replaced...what did I miss? the only thing I can think of is that the hose(s) to/from the heater core might be disintegrating? I'm at a loss I've spent likely half the money on flushes and coolant filters then the cost of a new rad at this point haha.

Your car is giving you a warning. Whichever hose it is will blow at the most inconvenient moment if you ignore it. Renew every hose, including heater, cross pipe hoses, breather tube hoses, question mark pipe hoses, heater pipe to rad bottom return hose, question mark pipe hose, bottom hose etc etc. It is not the mileage, it is the length of time that they have manfully stood up to the engine bay conditions.
