Sorry, It's 5/8 hose. I've been fooling with too many hoses
I found the same thing you did. 1/2 was too small and 5/8 fit exactly like you say. The crimp is about 3/4" from the center of the 1st crimp to the center of the last. I actually sacrificed one of the ferrells by crimping it around a hose with no fitting and measured the crimped ID of the rubber hose. The crimp is behind the 1st "big barb" so it won't slip off. I think it's gonna be OK. Did yours work out OK?

A clamp is a clamp as long as its rated for the work load.
I used the hard lines from a 76 300D, they don't have that stupid route under the mount arm. Hose is Parker 836. |

I used some T-Bar clamps when I did mine. I don't*like how the worm type claps cut into the hose. I used 2 on each end. One seemed to be enough but I wanted to be very sure.

I took my hose to a local hydraulic shop. They crimped the original ends onto a section of forklift hose and added a swivel that would let one end rotate slightly during install. About $10 cheaper than ordering online and a lot sturdier hose.

When I did my Hoses I spent a lot of time doing internet searches and never found any T-bar/Bolt Clamps that would squeeze down to an ID small enough for the GoodYear Push Lock Hose.

also, that hose is only rated for 300F temps... the turbo oil can get over 350.

In any case, its a 5 minute job to change my hoses compared to having to lift the engine to change the stock hoses. And they're well clear of the power steering pulley too. |

how long have you been using that hose? I'd like to know it's service life.
new lines certainly take more than 5 minutes to replace, but lifting the engine is not required. I think it took me 24 minutes to replace my hoses, and I had a problem figuring out which was upper and lower... I did remove my a/c bracket.

June 2009, so 2 years and 15k miles of hard driving. The hoses are still pliable without any cracking or leaks.

The only issue I have had is I had an Oil seep that got the Hose end wet (but no dripping around) one of the connections. I tighten up on the clamps and no more issue. That was about 1-1/2 years ago. It could be that the Parker Hose is a better choice because the GoodYear Hose is very inelastic. No deterioration of the Hoses noted (the Hoses look the same as when I put them on). I have more than 15K since I did mine.

My bottom hose was the one that failed. It wasn't leaking but the fitting spun freely in the hose. I figured it would eventually leak...
The inner barrier is pretty stiff on the new hose. Not very "rubbery". I assume the flow through the cooler is top to bottom?
