Magnum bypass hose alternatives?

With 165K miles on the clock, its time to swap out the belly pan gasket as well as the bypass nipple. If you are eating water pumps, consider an electric fan. If you want to keep corrosion to a minimum, change your anti freeze every 30-50K, it will prolong water pump life as well. There is not market for replacing a $6 rubber hose every 100K with $75 in AN fittings that will last just as long. I can pull a magnum intake and change all gaskets in an hour if I hustle so get a new nipple, hose, belly pan gasket or better yet a plate, intake gaskets and some new coolant....its pretty easy. Dont forget new intake bolts which come in aluminum belly pan kit
