The other day I went into the Kenworth dealer at Dixe and the 401 and checked out some hoses and turbo flexiable coupler hoses and came out with a 2 3/4" rad hose for an 18 wheeler that is a little stronger,not that it needs to be and is a nice ford blue on the out side and it is a silicone rubber hose that they sell by the foot.It was actually a 2 foot piece and they cut it in half for me.It cost $31.00 with tax. I took it home and got rid of those stupid 3 inch pieces and put on new 4 to 4 1/2" pieces and believe me they should never come off due to clamps slipping or torque from the motor. :D :D

Greg, is the hose you're talking about the one from the return tubing to the return plenum, the one that's always collapsing worse than a Pat Quinn run Maple Leafs team, if so I'm interested. Got any more. ;)

The 2 that I replaced are just before that as that one has a slight bend to it and I was thinking of trying somthing with that one aswell.The 2 that I replaced always blew off in the middle of a run,and drove me crazzy. :D
