I was going out to load rocks with the TD95D (2007)and noticed a coolant leak from the cab heater hoses where they enter the the front cab pillar on the LH side. On closer examination the leak came from the nearest one and was a pinhole but there are cracks in the hose. (see picture) There are also cracks on the return hose but no leak-yet. The hoses come across the fuel tank top, make a 90 degree turn fwd and two inches later make a 90 degree turn upward into the anti-chafe fitting in the pillar. These two turns in close proximity are what's causing the problem, most likely. A molded hose at this section would probably solve it.
I called our local NH dealer to see if there was a tech note or service bulletin on this problem, hoping thee was a repair kit for it but no such luck. My plan is to cut the hose and use a heater hose repair fitting and possibly some additiional hose to make the repair on both hoses.
Any words of wisdom on this repair would be welcome.
