Purosil Hose swap

[Pepperidge]

These are to replace the hoses that deterioprate on top of teh engine near the turbo:

Old hoses were 3/8" Line single braid .

New ones are Purosil Pure silicone 3/8" single wrap double braided strands.

purchased from spokane hose: http://www.spokanehose.com/ 1-800-541-6351

Hey...I've been to their store, neat.

Pepp, I see where you posted this but I do want to ask, are these hoses are LB7 specific?

 

[Pepperidge]

I'm not sure...I guess if you look under the cover by the turbo on an LLY or LBZ you could easily find out...

The LLY/LBZ has a Garrett VNT that is not water cooled and has no wastegate, so no hoses. Definitely specific to the LB7 which has an IHI(?)

Two words ):h

Heh):h Juice Grips...

Thank you for the clarification saratoga (yes, IHI is correct, you can actually read it in one of Pepp's pics).

 

[Pepperidge]

It was actually Got Juice who discovered the hose deterioration problem on the trucks...the pics are actually his that I had saved to my PC

Are those actually the actual pics off of your actual computer of an actual turbo taken with an actual camera?

 

[jcool]

maybe I should go outside and check my hose):h no but seriously...

I was told at the dealership that my loss of coolant was a leaking water pump. Replaced these hoses with the Purosil which resulted in no more coolant loss.

That's been awhile ago, still no coolant loss, and I'm still gratefull for that package from Slidell, LA.
Thanks again Pepp! :thumbsup:

Nah, just one stand-up guy helping out another diesel bro.


I believe you just buy a length of hose and then cut to fit. Use the hose clamps that don't cut into the hose.
