Unhappy Blown upper radiator hose
This is the second time my upper radiator hose blew.
It's not rubbing against anything. It was a cheap Kragen aftermarket hose.

What can I upgrade to? Or is stock the way to go?


Thanks

Go with the Goodyear High-Miler (complete LT1 set) sold in Jeg's and Summit.

Was the first hose that blew a Kragen as well? I've always gotten long life spans out of the factory hoses and GM replacement hoses.
