They were pretty good. There was pinging associated with them, but that was traced to oil in the intake manifold. That's why you see all of the discussion about oil separators.
No, you have to cut the hoses with Bob's, but it is much more effective. I bought an OEM hose from Rockauto for less than $10 to get the ends. Bob's comes with hose and clamps.:ford:
Then like I said, give me my money back. I would never accept a repaired $40K+ car that had been repaired without some significant compensation, nor would I drive a new car with damage for 2 months waiting on a part.
Tell them to order the new part, then take their best shot at fixing the damaged one while you wait. Tell them either that or give me my money back. Don't accept their $hit.
Thanks for all the info. I followed all of the links to different links and several tests. It appears from what I have found is that both Bob's and RX are the leaders and not much gets by them. However, it also appears that JLT may not have been tested fairly. It seems that the series tests...
Budwise, can you point us to any data to support that Bob's is better. I want the best one. The JLT is nice since it has factory connections. You would have to cut up the factory hose to use the Bob's, but if it's better, that's how I'll go.
