Default Heater Hose - Hot side

I have a ballooned heater hose at the water pump, when it gets up to temp, it leaks, this is not acceptable at all, I want to just simply replace the entire line, from water pump to heater core, does anyone have a part number or a link, I cant seem to find this. Thanks for your help!

Without car info, it is impossible to help with part numbers. Also, there have been recent heater hose threads discussing replacement. Did you search?

I'm sorry about that, it was late when I posted. It's a 1993 Trans am, 5.7 lt1, auto.

I found a few online, and the entire hose is about 125 bucks.. ouch.

I'd just replace the two inlet/outlet hoses and be done with it if no other hoses are leaking.

Well it appears all the hoses on this car are original, and not in the best shape. This car did alot of sitting over its lifetime. I just want everything to be in good shape so that come next summer I can take it out and have some fun, and not worry about stupid little things stranding me on the side of the road.

Only hoses I've replaced thus far in the 15 years I've owned mine is the inlet/outlet. A couple of them I've cut the compressed part of the hose from the clamp. I'd at least inspect the hoses, but if they don't look like they are about to rupture or leak then I wouldn't worry about it.
