Where do you all buy Ford parts like molded heater hoses?

[thammel]

Hi,

I'm looking to replace the hoses on my 2002 XLS. Just preventive maintenance getting ready for the winter. They're still the original ones. All the parts stores say to use generic hose, but all the ones on the car are definitely molded. I could go to the local Ford dealer and pay a bundle I suppose. From my brief on-line searching I have not found a good discount original Ford parts place. Can anyone help with a recommended on-line site?

Thanks,
Tom

I bought all new coolant/rad hoses for mine at Autozone, I think they were Goodyear tagged. Molded and perfect fit. I would imagine Rock or FPN would have them too though.
