I had a hose assy replaced due to failure. No big deal. Part got here from oz in 5 days; good food chain.
Changed the oil this weekend and found the hose they replaced. Under the radiator running along frame, you'll find two hoses.
Even when in the clamp that secures the hose, the hose directly touches the frame as it goes up on the passenger side. It rubs, vibrates, fails, and then you lose your a/c charge.
Then, I see this piece of glued on rubber sleeve on the hose assy that is supposed to be the protector at that place where the hose goes from horizontal to vertical on passenger side. The problem or defect is that it's manufcatured about two inches too high and doesn't meet the frame where it should and that's why they fail. For about five cents you can save some trouble.
Oh, changed over from Mobil1 to RoyalPurple
