Silicone radiator hoses

Post by BOBS 2 68S »

I put silicone radiator and heater hoses with the wide recommended clamp. I have to tighten them almost every time I drive the bronco. Has any one else tried them or had the same problem? I will get 2-4 full turns on most of the clamps. I almost ready change back to oem parts.

I have them on my truck with no problems at all. I'm using European style narrow width hose clamps I find they don't cut into the hoses and damage them as much.

Switch to a spring loaded clamp like the oem style. No more worm clamp issues.
