Show some proof before you go with the na na Im right your wrong type attitude. As I said if there any * drops it would be very low and nothing to write home about. He would be better of with a T-Stat. If hes going for flash then by all means.

Has anyone taken any reads on what the under hood ambient temperatures are?

Look who has the attitude. The OP asked about a stainless steel hose and I provided what I had and a link to check it out. You are trying to get him to change something else not related to the question.

I don't have time to change colors of the font to try and act as if you got a bigger attitude than you already have.

Relax man and go work on your jeep.

I've replaced the tstat twice since cuz I thought maybe with my luck I got a defect one I've also gotten rid of air in the system after each job, no oil coolant mix no coolant on the block but every few weeks to a month I have to refill coolant that disappears maybe a quart or so within a month if that much

do you have a catch tank on yours? I ask cause some cars have drip tubes. Have you tried filling that up? Or is this where you are noticing the fluid loss from?

I have them on a show car because they look nice. Upper and lower. Look nice is all they do, besides add two additional junctions and clamps that can leak. They do nothing for cooling.

Yeah I fill from the reservoir bottle that's how I notice the loss

some loss from the bottle is ok because as it gets hot and cold it expands and constricts. I would still check for a leak in and around where ever coolant is present. Maybe the coolant in the reservoir is splashing out. Im not to sure. Be sure and check around the head as well as freeze plugs. If the HG was bad you would have contaminated oil or coolant. Unless like I said the HG is busted between a coolant valley and the cylinder (unlikly though)
