lb79theone Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I have a situation! I have that ram air intakes on my LS and I am having a problem with the threads of the hose clamps keep backing ou due to vibration! I put automotive goop on the threads and it helped but it is such s mess! Does anyone have a solution to this problem I am having? Thanks in advance! Brendon from Maine.

TIE1-ON Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm guessing you tightened these hose clamps down a few times and each time you put a little more torque on them and that might be the problem. Over torqued hose clamps will fail and not hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
