In response to a question regarding the silicon water hoses. Yes, Rob does use silicon hoses on the ones behind the water pump. He says he has had great success with these. They compress better than the OEM hoses and don't have the problem with freezing temp leaking issues. I just has my entire cooling system hoses replace except for these as they were just done a few years ago when the water pump was changes but I WILL get them replaced with the silicon hoses when the time comes. If you are due for replacement of these hoses don't even think of using something else. Call Rob. Tom #0005732 MT If you have a chance check out my new site. www.geocities.com/outatime81
