What did I do wrong?
I replaced my oil cooler and EGR cooler with a Neal products upgrade. I started the truck up and runs fine except coolant is leaking around the egr cooler hose where it slides onto the tube of the cooler. I had an orange hose on the truck but the new kit came with a blue one which is the upgraded hose. It seems like you would want hose clamps on it. How can I fix this now?
Thanks Rich

Ouch. I think the hose will only go on there one way so. If it were me I'd get some heater hose and a couple of pipe clamps and try to wrestle it on there. Somebody may have another fix. Man that sucks.

DID YOU SPRAY A LUBRICANT IN THE HOSE BEFORE YOU SLID IT ON.SOMETIMES INSTALLING A PART THAT HAS A O-RING IN IT WITHOUT LUBING IT UP CAN CAUSE YOU TO CUT THE O-RING.I USE WD40 OR A SILICONE BASED SPRAY.I ALSO CLEAN THE MATTING SURFACES WITH O LIGHT SCOTCH BRIGHT PAD TO TAKE OFF ANY RESIDUE THAT COULD OF BUILT UP.

replaced with another new hose after the dealer determined the one I had was defective. The end that slides over the cooler tube was not cut square causing the O-ring to not seal right.
Thanks for the help
