Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Upgraded Motorcraft KM4784 Hose for Improved Engine Performance by Bill Roberts

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Wrong packaging decision

This item shipped in a box half the size and has been double the size for several days running. Therefore, there is a weak point in the bend of this hose, which runs on a diesel engine that is heated and contains a lot of fluid. When that engine decides to pressurize, that spot will be the first to hit that hose. Easiest would be to put it in a matching box rather than damaging a good OEM part. It might seem harmless until you consider that the hose on this truck will last for years hauling 10,000 pounds through mountain passes. You don't need a soft spot to do this and you can definitely feel the weak point, the rest of the rubber is hard and shaped while this band has a really soft spot that can make someone collapse or swell. At this place. Unfortunately I don't want to return it as the return policy clearly states that you will be charged up to 50% if you return it for a restocking fee, although I did not cause this problem. grrrrr

Pros
  • Product box width is 7 inches
Cons
