My son is taking his 2008 JK U CRD across the Simpson from west to east (in September). He has close to 60,000kms on his original hoses and they are starting to weep abit of oil (especially the intake side).
He carries rescue tape but the Simpson is no place to have a hose fail because limp mode will not get you over a dune. Does anyone know how long these original hoses will last? Are there Samco silicon replacements? Where can we source these hoses at a reasonable cost (he was quoted over $1000 by his QLd Jeep dealer)?
I've got over 100'000k on mine and they have been weeping for the last 20-30 but it's only a mater of time till they go, I no a lot have gone much sooner.
Not sure about replacments there is a thread somewhere about costom alloy or stainless pipes try searching for that.
Yes I found that in a search, and the people that they are using at Kaos Auto in Rockhampton are not too far from my son's place. Apparently Kaos is charging $480 a set for Aluminium and they still use silicon sleeves on the ends to allow movement. THat maybe my only option.
