I did not mean to imply that Bob.The hose sprung a leak on the outside radius where it curves around the injection pump, no chafing or sharp objects nearby. Looking at the ends of both hoses they are cracked and split, pretty obvious they are made out of inferior rubber. If I was putting Chinese hoses back on I'd save my money and use cheaper antifreeze knowing now that the hoses will fail every few years and dump the stuff anyway.
The hose from the air cleaner to the intake is failing (rotting) on both ends where it is clamped also. I'll replace that with a metal tube and short hoses at either end. No sense putting another crap hose on every few years.
