Sorry dude, but your title "How to make preformed radiator hoses that look great" is a bit misleading. You didn't 'make' a preformed hose...you covered a hose that was already performed. If your title had 'that' removed, 'How to make preformed radiator hoses look great', it would be an accurate description of what you did. Not criticizing your video itself... it's good. 👍

You’re preaching to the choir. I wish I could title my videos “hey today I played with my hot rod” but unfortunately KZfaq has a crazy algorithm that only shows your video to people if the title is worded a certain way. So BELIEVE me… I LOATHE clickbaity titles, but in reality, it’s completely necessary because you, the end user wont click on videos unless “power words”, “emotional words”, “phrases that invoke an emotional response” are employed. Its ridiculous but thats the way the human brain is. I have to spend literally DAYS researching what title will get views before I release a video. I hate it. Dont hate the player, hate the game.

Me and my buddy did the same thing on his small block Chevy in his S-10. We were able to find a lower hose but not an upper. We both hate those universal flex hoses but that's all we could find so put the loom on it and it looked great. Couldn't even tell it was a flex hose. The only thing we did different was to use T-clamp hose clamp and no shrink. The solid and wide body of the clamp captured and hid the end of the wire loom. Plus we cut ours with a hot knife so it "seals" the end of the looming and it doesn't unravel. Still looked great a year later when we ripped the engine out last weekend to install a 740 horse LS 427. Love the show, been sub'd for a while now.

The brass barb used for the small hose, another option might work. Get a fitting with only one smooth barb at the end leaving a smooth original diameter mid section for a hose clamp. Instead of the typical hose clamps, try a PEX crimp ring instead. The copper rings can be found in black. The stainless steel rings can be squeezed a bit tighter than the copper ones. I use this to fix my shop air hoses and it works great.

It’s a 53 GMC(was a 2 1/2 ton truck) on a class A motorhome frame. No motor yet looking for 6.0 LS or a diesel

Subbed...love the build. Got a 59 apache almost roadworthy. Ive used the heat shrink hoseclamps from Summit. Work great, downfall is they're a 1 time use, but very clean in appearance

This looks good. My only hang up is that I always considered what will happen if something goes wrong on a long cruise (like Power Tour.) This seems like it would be a pain to deal with on the side of the road, but I might be wrong. Keep up the good work! Subscribed.

Thank you!! Well essentially they’re just factory hoses. Could always carry another set without dressing them, or even a flex hose or two. Or do what I do… pay $6 a month on my insurance for roadside assistance! 😂

@@intheshoptv I guess where my brain is stuck is the heat shrink. Will the hose still pull off of the neck without having to cut the heat shrink? (I realize if the hose is bad, you are buying a new one anyway, but if you are pulling it for another reason would you have to damage the hose to get it off?)
@intheshoptv3 ай бұрын
@@FunKingGarage gotcha, no it just closes the frayed end of the tech flex for cosmetics. The electrical shrink doesn’t apply enough force to clamp the hose. Thats why I still used the black worm gear clamp!

I had thought of doing that too. But when I got this radiator, it was set up for LS swaps so I figured Id just take advantage of the welded in bung

Oh man, SO true. Especially when you’re filming it all. I have one more scene to shoot for the next video and I cant do ANYTHING until Amazon finally decides to show up. I LOVE the work but hate outside elements causing delays, sending the wrong stuff. Frustrating for sure! Thank you for the kind words and for watching and being part of the journey!

Quick question: have you tried removing/reinstalling the hoses with the shrink wrap? Looks great but seems to me that this is a one-time install and the only way to remove will be with a razor blade.
@intheshoptv3 ай бұрын
Yes. The shrink tubing doesn’t apply clamping force to the hose (like the Gates Powerband product), its regular electrical shrink tubing that only dresses the end of the hose and hides the frayed end of the techflex and prevents it from unraveling. the black worm gear clamps is what applies force. I had them off and on just the other day when I filled the engine and radiator with coolant.
