radiator hose

[496of2000]

My lower hose had a blowout. Here's a pix.

I bought a replacement from NAPA, but it didn't fit well. Does anyone sell a silicone upper and lower radiator hoses?

Yup, the auto store hose does not fit... not even "trim to fit" like mine said. The good news is that it made for a great BOV return line for me when I moved some pipes around. BUT, you gotta order the lower radiator hose from Mitsubishi.

Don't know of any silicone ones out there, but if anybody made one, it would have been Samco.

I just got new OEM hoses from JNZ for cheap. Knowing I am ok for another 10+ years is good enough for me. No need for silicone in my opinion.

Napa has two part numbers for the lower hose. The wrong one is 7777. The right one starts with a 8 not a 7.

Just go exchange it for the right one. Call first to make sure they have it in stock.

the silicone hoses for the t/e/l will fit, they have to be trimmed. i was very pleased with them, but they are expensive.

I used Dayco hoses the other day when I replaced the radiator in TurboRich's car because the OEM ones were on backorder. The upper fit perfectly, the bottom one was another story but after some cutting it fits pretty well. If you need the PN for it I can go get it off the hose for you.

i havent had any luck with napa/autozone/local parts store lower radiator hoses. the only one that fit perfectly was the one from the mitsu dealership. all the other ones rubbed against the shifter linkage.

Yup, they gave me the 7777 and it rubs.

mitsubishiparts.net probably has them cheaper with shipping, than NAPA.

 

Just call josh at jnztunning.
I got both upper and lower from him.
He will send you the right ones.
Not to mention his prices are service is the best.

Nothing but good things to say about jnz tuning.good stuff,great prices and service,although i don't think i would go to them for something as simple as a radiator hose,their a good bussines.

I went to NAPA, becuase I needed to get it running or get a parking ticket for leaving in front of my sisters house too long.
