Made in America Silicone Hoses.

Hoses, the ARTERIES of the engine, carry vital fluids and air for it's operation. While many after market accessories are added to the original equipment of the vehicle, hoses are often neglected. This is especially true when components are installed increasing performance. Raising Horsepower and torque increases boost pressures putting more demand on stock hoses which do not have an upgraded rating. Exhaust temperatures also go up, causing higher under hood temperatures.

As time and miles add up, OEM hoses become more prone to slipping off, cracking, rupturing or leaking. Carrying heavy loads and towing trailers increases the potential for failure. The weight of modern trailers with pop out rooms and all the amenities of today often exceed the vehicles rated towing specifications, putting even more demand on components. Should a CAC hose, (Turbo/Intercooler hose) fail, the result is loss of boost and power. You don't want this to happen on a 100 degree day while pulling your trailer up a hill. Loss of power, exhaust temps pegging the gauge, and finding a place to pull over can make for a bad day. Allowing dust or dirt to be sucked into the engine is not good either. Over heating the engine by a failed radiator or heater hose can cause it to never be the same again. Don't forget about the hoses on the Automatic transmission block cooler on the Dodge/Cummins trucks.

When purchasing a used vehicle, replacing the vehicles hoses with upgraded Silicone hoses should definitely be on the check list. Silicone unlike rubber is ozone resistant, has higher temperature ratings, and retains it's flexibility for life. While Silicone is not impervious to caustic substances like acids, under normal use one does not have to be concerned about how many miles or years they have been on the engine.

Closed crankcase vehicles like the Ford Power Stroke have engine oil circulate in their CAC air hoses. This results in deterioration of the stock hoses causing leakage, slipping off, cracking, or rupture. (Closed crankcases are now required on all new vehicles) Mr. Bob's CAC Silicone hoses for closed crankcase engines have a Fluorocarbon lining in them, which is impervious to petro-chemicals. Although this requires a double baking/curing process raising cost, it is a tremendous improvement for this application. Power Stroke owners are reporting how their truck ran like new again just from changing the hoses. The reason! leakage and loss of boost, and thus loss of power. The potential of sucking dirt into the engine is also eliminated.

The following is a reply from Mr Bobs Silicone Hoses to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
