Are those constant-tension hose clamps any good?
My Crown Vic starts leaking from both ends of the upper radiator hose whenever it gets cold (15-20 degrees) overnight. The constant-tension hose clamps with the spring on the worm drive bolt are supposed to be the solution to the problem.
Yes, I've tried tightening the hose clamps that are on it now. Doesn't help. NAPA has the constant tension clamps, and they also have T-bolt clamps.
Which would you use to solve this problem?
(There is a distinct possibility that the hose clamps on it now are garbage, because one of them started stripping out and I wasn't cranking on it very hard..)
