    That pretty interesting that the Silicone is just a cover for the rubber.

    I don’t think I have the knowledge to understand what you are saying. Could you elaborate for me? Thanks!

    I'd just buy Genuine Toyota Parts radiator hoses, although both Dayco and Gates make pretty good stuff too.

    I've run HPS silicone hoses for a few years. After years and hundreds of dirt miles later they are still in great shape, no leaks, no dry rot and the red color still looks cool!

    After buying replacement hoses, don't cheap out with worm clamps.

    Buy yourself some new constant tension clamps as you can get them from Toyota.

    They're already "set" to go as you just slip them over the hose, install the hose where it needs to go, then pull off the metal tab and done.
