Disappointing Hose for Automotive Use

When I tried this hose for my car, I was expecting a durable and reliable product. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The hose was difficult to install and leaked after just a few uses. While it may be affordable, the quality is lacking.

Pros
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Difficult to install, leaks easily

Not suitable for 80's CJ7

Product was good and as stated. The site says it fits 86 CJ7 with 258 L6. The hose ends are the correct size, but the hose kinks/kinks when twisted. The same applies to 82 CJ7. Even cutting off the ends doesn't solve the problem. I'm not demoting the product, just don't buy it if you plan to use it on an 80's CJ7. Get a formed hose.

Pros
  • Belts, hoses and pulleys
Cons
  • Crumpled

Fits 1965 Studebaker Commander

Good hose and perfect for my 1965 Studebaker restoration project. This corresponds to the old style hoses where the coil of the spring is exposed to the inside of the hose. This is to prevent the hose from collapsing due to the suction pressure of the water pump. I love that they stuck with this design to make it more similar to the original item.

Pros
  • Radiator
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
