Has anyone tried using these aftermarket hose. I’m a little hesitant because you can get all of them for around $60

Yah a little to cheap and I'm not a fan of the Yellow, I now when I was a part store manager and average price for a Dayco or Gates upper hose was about $15 some more some less and some of the smaller hoses $8 to $12 and that was 27 years ago

That's just a sleeve over a normal hose.
Not an AN style hose.

Anybody who knows about radiator hoses knows they don't really make stainless steel covered hoses. Everyone knows they are just a cheesy cover. Dan
