    I have a 2009 Sport, double cab, 4x4, V6, original owner. Well maintained. I noticed my radiator over flow keeps getting low , for about last 2 weeks. New water pump and radiator fluid about 6 months ago. New radiator hoses a year ago. Again it’s been fine up to 2 weeks ago. Crawled under the truck and there’s definitely a small stream coming from the fire wall area somewhere above the front diff. It’s radiator fluid so I assume it’s a heater hose. I’ve replaced heater hoses on older cars, no sweat, easy peasy. This one looks like a total pain in the ass. Any one here replaced their heater hoses? I’m pretty sure I’m going to have my local mechanic do it. Anyone here have any experience replacing these? Cost?
