There is several ways of not using the original Hoses. I believe the are all in the DIY section.
I only replaced the Hose part on mine and use double Hose Clamps. I have been driving 4 Years like that and I have to admit one Hose while not dripping is wet.
I have not gotten around to it but replacing the Hose section is easy for Me now. Just remove the Clamps; clean the nipples and replace the Hose.

The biggest issue with the old stock Hoses is once they start leaking under the crimped Collar it means the Hose has deteriorated under there. A few Members have lost an Engine due to the Hose developing a massive leak while driving.
At your Engine Milage the Bearings could also be worn out. Most are near the end of there life before they reach Your Mileage. Someone must have babied the Car.
