Message: [QUOTE="Charles, post: 689480, member: 103"] FYI, the OEM hose route on my 1999 Superduty is [i]not[/i] through the belt... Ever noticed the nice half-circle [i]cast[/i] into the accessory bracket right under the alternator? That's where the hose goes OEM. I assure you they didn't cast that in with a spot for a ratchet tie for no reason. Only the later models got the retarded hose through the belt that you have apparently replicated. I can't personally see a compelling reason to ditch the OEM rubber hoses for something else purely from a materials standpoint. I haven't actually seen one fail since our first powerstroke in 1995. But... if you offered the hose that actually makes sense and goes behind the belt and into the OEM cast in holder in the accessory bracket, I could see people that have the retarded hose through the belt on the later trucks buying the hose from you that goes the smart way for that reason alone. If you've never swapped a shredded belt on a tow truck and had to dick with scalding coolant, hose clamps that require a rather large set of pliers or some sore fingers then the original Ford hose route location as seen on my 99 probably wouldn't seem important to you. I was simply throwing it out there. Seemed like an easy thing for you to sell hoses. Good luck. You seem interested in making quality stuff. [/QUOTE]
