Review on Dodge Ram Cummins 5.9 6.7 2003-2009 Blue Silicone Radiator Hose Kit by Mishimoto - Best Quality and Compatibility by Richard Miller

I have problems with these hoses. They require constant belt adjustment and have ended up leaking (not in the belt area) for a little over 2 years. During that time I lost 6 gallons of coolant ($110). Mishimoto's lifetime warranty doesn't give you a refund, they just provide you with another tube that doesn't last long and takes a little over 2 weeks to replace and after an injury you have to pay $100 for shipping pay. This is taken straight from the warranty page on their website. Looks like a guarantee right? you complete the sentence. If the claim is submitted within 90 days of product purchase, the fee is $50. If a claim is submitted more than 90 days after purchase, the fee is $100. Heavy Duty Radiation Hose. I use AMSOIL in the engine, transmission and differential. I have a Mag Hi-Tec differential cover, bi-pass filters for the engine, radiator and fuel. I have Firestone Lifetime Premium high-end performance brakes and rotors (parts and labour). I could go on. I intend to make this truck the last vehicle I will ever buy. No no, I intend to research and only use high quality parts that offer longevity, durability and reliability over the long term. These silicone hoses are problematic. My mechanic, who has been featured in Diesel Power Mag about a dozen times, says these hoses are problematic. So I'm not alone in my opinion and my observations. How can you have $50 and $100 variable shipping depending on the time? It's like shipping costs or something.
