Subject: Clear Radiator Hoses and Heater Hoses

Hello,
(2000 3.9M V6 SLT Dakota)

I am looking for clear radiator upper and lower hoses, and for clear heater hoses.

Does anybody know where to find them?
Does anyone even make them for our trucks?

That would look neat, but clear hoses, because of the chemistry required to make them clear, don't have the strength to withstand the heat and pressure in a hose diameter as large as required for the upper or lower radiator hoses.
Most hoses used for engine coolant are internally re-inforced with a fiber braid.

It's easy to find clear hoses in a size that will fit (Home Depot), but if you put them on your engine, keep some regular hoses handy by for when the clear ones burst.
