Review on Mishimoto MMHOSE-F2D-01RD Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for Ford 7.3 Powerstroke 2001-2003 - Red, High-Quality Performance Upgrade by Alvaro Delic

Silicone cracks under pressure

Mishimoto is a quality brand but I think they should only make radiators and coolers because those hoses are just weak. Not sure if it's just me, but I put them on after installing a Mishimoto transmission cooler and the hoses gave me a vacuum leak where I was pinched. Two weeks later my transmission line broke down. So I cut off the hose, put it back in and clamped next time. The next day my other trance line broke, liquid all over, I clamped both where it was tight and held on for another 3 days until they broke again. I just went back to my stock lines. Silicone just doesn't take as much pressure as you might think.

Pros
  • hands free
Cons
  • protection
