I have asked this question before, but is anyone running with the silicone radiator hoses or the goodyear hi miler hoses. I seen a set in the summit catalog but they have no applications for the 88tc. I would like to use these hoses, any ideas. Maybe if enough people would want them, we could get goodyear to make them for us. just dreaming.

Nope, never had. Your best bet is to go to your local shop and ask what different quality type hoses there are available for your car. This way you know what you are being offered, after you know what they have, you can either choose them on your own or just post on here what kind of hoses they have available.

forrest, I too want to upgrade to the silicone hoses. The mustang kit will not fit and I have not been able to track down a kit for our cars.
