PPE Lower Radiator Hose LML

- I was frustrated for days and couldn't find ANY videos (only advice on forums I could find was try to find a better O-ring). On Amazon reviews, someone said they used a ratchet strap (which I tried), but I couldn't figure it out. Anyways, this did the trick and was actually quite easy, all things considered.
I just got my PPE hoses for my LML and this is the only vid. I’m getting my buddy that works at the dealership to install mine, I’ll ask him to send me some short vids on how to install. Hope your hoses are holding up, nice setup
A reply from PPE support said to use Silicon grease (and that they get this complaint a lot, hah). Some other forums have also said this is more for a Mishimoto radiator setup. Either way, mine are holding up well, no leaks or coolant loss. I forgot to mention in the vid to be sure to put SOME sort of grease on them otherwise the O-ring is likely to tear or warp. If only I had seen a vid or post like this before, it would've taken me minutes instead of hours!
Also, thanks and best of luck on your build(s).
Two years later ...have they hold up?
They have been solid. Had a minor leak in the smaller hose that goes to the engine bay, but I think it was my fault because all I did was tighten the clamp a little more and it went away. Water temp really did go down a couple degrees so it was worth it in my opinion.
I think it’s the notch in the wrong place
Little late, but yeah its a tight fit... I put a lil grease around it and was able to push it on before my body blew a gasket haha. I also kept the hose on it, I don't know how you even got the hose off. Should not leak lol. All of those fittings are a pain to move around. I thought it was going to be a simple install...
There's a t-bolt that I just unscrewed to get the metal fitting off. I just really tightened it back up once I jacked this mf'er fitting on there and it's still solid, hah. No leaks or drips.
@@EricEscamillaesca2791 man, mine are still leaking after all that blasted trouble. I’m hot about it all because I got to get back under there and undo everything. Pull all that crap apart and throw some high temp silicone on all the fittings. I’ve probably over tightened my clamps and jacked them up. It’s going to be a another process. Came back from a 4 hour drive and the top radiator hose was pouring out and hadn’t before. Ain’t nothing like losing $100 worth of coolant. Buy a solution for a fix for $300 and got to keep buying coolant. Imma get a “good” pressure tester this next time. After that they will be cut out…
@@jamesb3654 Real sorry to hear that. I've heard of some of these leaking, but I really bought into the "brand". Maybe my negative experience is right around the corner, but I know what you mean about blowing money on all that coolant, took me about 9 gallons before I got this down. Saved what I could - was literally there with cups, whatever I could get while the thing was leaking money.
@@EricEscamillaesca2791 exactly… I’m just dreading this… read up on a lot of the forums saying this was the ones to buy and maybe i just got a lemon set. Hopefully this go round is the last one till they rot. Hope you never have a problem with yours!
Leave the billet peice attached to the coolant hose and grab a buddy to help you pull the same hose towards the radiator inlet. One person should be pushing the hose itself towards the inlet and another should be grabbed from the bullit peice and shoving it in the inlet, it will give in and be a secure tight fit, no silly drips or leaks. IT SHOULD BE A 2 PERSON TASK
That needs to go on to a aluminum radiator end piece! Duh
