Mishimoto lets his diesel customers down

Hose quality is great, part quality is great, parts fit? Absolute hot trash. I wouldn't buy it again if it was on sale for half the price. I can't tell you how much stress and frustration the stainless floor hitch has caused me. Another review said it's a pain in the ass, I say it can't be done unless you take out the radiator and hammer it in with a hammer. I've tried insane amounts of heat, grease, oil, a hammer, I've tried everything I can think of to get this bottom clutch to fit. I spent probably 7 HOURS trimming the internal o-ring that sits in the stainless steel coupler that connects to the passenger side radiator outlet. I probably had to shave off more than half of the o-ring so it barely fit. Even though I shaved half of it off with a file, I still had to use every muscle in my body to twist, compress and slide onto the muff when half the o-ring was gone. I can assure you it's too big because it doesn't leak a drop after installation. Up until this moment, I only had good things to say about Mishimoto. I've been buying parts and hoses for other cars there for years and absolutely no complaints. They need serious quality testing of their diesel products, this has brought me an incredible amount of unnecessary blood sweat and tears.

Pros
  • Hoses
Cons
