Just got Back

I need to catch up on all the replies to my initial question. Just got back from a two week trip down south. Approximately 2,200 miles and truck ran great. I did not have any problems with the charge tube hose this time as the dealer replaced the bad one prior to my leaving on the trip. I'll catch up on the reading and then post any further questions if I have any. Sounds like those hoses are the way to go.



Later
 
It is good to see you all are getting your hoses and clamps as they where a long time in coming. I hope you all like them... the only bad news is now I can not say that I have the only set in existence...

What Happened???? I am dyin' over here blowin' hoses to smitherienes??

I looked for the thread but did not hit on it. The company wanted to go back to the drawing board on the hoses. Get the duct tape out.
 
The problem is...



the NEWER, UPGRADED hoses are still not available yet although, I'm told they will be out VERY soon.
 
Does anyone have ANY new information?



I'm getting pretty POed at the lack of ANY customer service by SPA.



In the last several months I have Emailed Dave at least twice and Patrick once. I have received absolutely NO response! And that includes both on the subject of silicone hoses as well as a defective digital gauge.



What happened?



Thankfully, 24V DSL (Joe) has kept me updated with the information he has received... thanks Joe. :)



I'd call SPA however, since I work day shift and live on the west coast, I leave for work before they start their day and I arrive home after they have already left for the day.



My patience is starting to run thin! ( :( )

I posted somewhere that I tested a new set and they were good to go... ...



I gotta go now but I will post more very soon, i am working now
 
Patrick called me two days ago. In ~2-3 wks. I should receive another complete kit. I'll install the new pieces I need (hump hoses, 90 degree heater hose, and passenger side lower intercooler hose) and box up and return the remaining pieces.



Brandon also emailed me re: the test kit he installed (thanks), so it looks like this adventure is almost over.



Joe
 
Thank you Brandon (and especially) Joe. If I had been on my home PC anytime in the last two days I would have seen your TDR Email detailing the progress... ( :eek: )... Oops!



Thank you for bringing me up to speed with this issue. :D



Now... I need to work on the problem with the gauge...

John if you think you are Poed about no customer assistace, I sent 2 sets of SPA gauges over a year ago to a guy named Ron at SPA to fix the problem of not being able to see gauges and since that time Ron has quit for some reason, well now Patrick claims they were not sent in and basically told me to shove off. I called regularly to see when my gauges were going to be sent back and suddenly no body knows anything, SPA cant even remeber their being a problem with the gauges so go figure. They did say do you have a copy of UPS sheet which I cannot find over a year and half ago.

I get the impression the hoses are not very available???



Does anyone know how they match up to a 12v? I borrowed an '01 24V to compare, and they *look* the same, other than the upper radiator hose which looks very "close". Obviously not the heater hose, but I can live without those...
 
Hoses

Where is the addres to get these hoses. Will they work on a 99 Automatic? What's the cost of the Clamps? Also give me the E-Mail Add? Tks Bill
 
I have had the radiator hoses on my truck since late september, they are sweet. It was when installing these that Brandon and i realized there were some issues with the fitting of the pass side intercooler boot as well as the bend of one of the heater hoses could be better and the straight IC boots needed to be longer. SPA is just now getting the corrected sets out for testing last i heard and hopefully they will start rolling out soon, I know i would love to get the rest of the kit on my truck ASAP, the clamps are first rate and the silicone hoses look awesome. They will not work on a 12valve, the top radiator hose is not the same. Radar doctor, they will work on your 99.
