Silicone Hoses where?
ive replaced all my vaccume hoses and all the ones i could find with the silicone hoses and was wondering what about the upper rad hoses... i know they are better then the rubber ones but can they stand the heat?

Silicon is better for heat... but I dunno about rad hose heat.
The vac tubes are better cuz they stay flexy, even after years of heat exposure. BUT they do decompose and wither away when exposed to oil and/or grease.
I dunno what effect coolant will ahve on the silicon
