Help with Radiator Hose
Does anyone have thoughts on using an aftermarket radiator hose? One in specific is a Dayco brand that flexes to accomodate odd curves. I've got an aftermarket radiator and the lower hose outlet is moved two inches from the extreme driver side left. Using the OEM makes it kink slightly and I am afraid that water will not flow correctly. Help me out guys and gals!

I have used Dayco hoses with no problems for many years. It would be a good idea to avoid kinking the hose as you described. It will weaken the hose, which is not something you want in a radiator hose.
