Ha guys, I started to replace all my bellows and gimble bearing today with a Mallory kit my local dealer sold me. Now im not new to doing this job ive preformed it twice before, but with oem parts. My problem is I cant seem to get the water intake hose to not kink when every thing is back to gether I never had this problem with oem is there a difference in the hoses? The mallory hose say HD 200psi heater hose! My drive is a MR connected to a 5.7 .Any one have this problem and point me in the rite direction to fix it!

Get the OEM kit and stop buying the cheap junk. Then you won't have all those problems.
