Faulty Hose Frustrates Automotive Owners

This hose is a disaster. It's flimsy and constantly leaks causing major headaches for mechanics and car owners alike. The one positive is that it's easy to install, but that's about it. The cons far outweigh the pros with this product. Don't waste your time or money on this item. .

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting, made from high-quality materials
Cons
  • May require professional installation for some vehicles

work and quality.

What can I say, it's a radiator hose. I used this in my 2005 Hemi Durango and it fits perfectly. The hose is slightly thicker than the OEM Mopar hose that I removed, but the Mopar hose has started to bulge. I had an issue with the clip on the side that connects to the motor so I used a clip that tightens with a screwdriver. Installed this hose within a month with no problems.

Pros
  • Specially designed materials to withstand vacuum collapse
Cons
  • Safety
