Samco Sport Silicone Radiator Hose Reviews

[MasterChiefIDI]

Hi, has anyone used the Samco Sport silicone radiator hoses for the 6.9 and 7.3? Seems Samco radiator hoses last almost forever. I am planning to run Evans coolant and like the idea of hoses that will last as long as the coolant will ha. See below link:

I, for one, haven't been tempted to spend $300+ on a couple of radiator hoses.

Yea if a rad hose from ford lasted me 15 years and the one from Napa that replaced it lasted 15 years I think I’ll spend the 40$ total and get another 15 years. I may buy a second set just in case

In my experience, on equipment the silicone hoses don't last as long as the regular reinforced rubber hoses....
I'd just sleeve regular hoses for the look if you want to do that.

I'm fairly certain that I'm on the 2nd set of radiator hoses my truck has had in 33 years. The factory originals lasted about 16 years and didn't leak and looked good but due to their age were replaced around 2009.
