Which silicone hose kit?

[gluaisrothaii]

Delorean Industries has one (https://deloreanindustries.com/cooling-hose-kit-complete-silicone/) but it's not available to add to cart.

PJGrady has one (https://pjgrady.com/product/silicone-master-cooling-hose-clamp-kit/) but when I add to cart it won't let me check out.

DelMoCo does not have one.

DeLoreanGo has one (https://www.deloreango.com/us/silicone-hose-kit.html) but then clamps are extra...

Thoughts on which kit is better?

Thanks,
Ken

After 2.5 years on Grady's kit things are fine. No experience with other kits.

Suggesting you phone the vendor(s) during the work week - they will be happy to be advised of any website hiccups and sell you what you need at the same time.

I think the silicone hoses do call for a particular clamp type so don't cut corners on that.

We are proudly the only ones "made in america" and you definitely get what you pay for with silicone products in abrasive environments. We will have the next batch of 100 kits ready shortly.

If you were really proud you would have capitalized "America".

Commie!

I can't respond to this without breaking forum rules. My response is I can't respond.

PJ Grady's kit has the longest service history so we can assume any problems have been found and sorted out. No matter who's kit you get you should check and see exactly what hoses you get. Not all kits from all vendors are the same. If you have an automatic be sure you get the right hose for the cooler. If you are going to spend the extra bucks for a silicone kit you really should replace EVERY hose. If any hose leaks you lose ALL of your coolant! This includes the hoses under the intake manifold, heater, and radiator.

I’ve been running Delorean gos kit for about a year, no issues, the DMC printed ones, yes stainless clamps are extra. But worth it.

Thanks for all the responses. I ordered the PJ Grady kit over the phone, mostly due to availability but also based on the thread responses.

Best,
Ken
