Faulty Hose, Not Worth Your Money

This hose failed to withstand typical automotive temperatures and blew out within a few months of use.. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Unreliable and ineffective

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality hose but be careful when installing

Fitted to a 1999 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 SOHC upper radiator hose. Be sure to remove and set aside the engine guard that is held in place by the 4x7mm screws and the top main air intake. Also loosen the screw holding the metal plate, the "metal tube" is also welded for easier installation (you may need to take out the electrical connection held by the plastic locking pin to allow this metal tube to move more freely ). If you have more room to work with, you can remove the intake flap housing…

Pros
  • Conforms to SAE 20R4 Class D2 and DIN 73411 Class A (except tolerances)
Cons
  • Has disadvantages
