Phhhttt. Yet another $$$ gimmick for Summit to pimp to the guys who go to car shows just to pop their hood and get a woody.

Just wait until the car overheats, and then the clamp snaps in two. Boy what a mess.
This is a Gates "Fleet" item so I have a hard time believing they are marketing this if they haven't done the due diligence.
But then there is a long list of things I still find hard to believe. K - Cars, shake weights, that Qiana was toxic....wait I might believe this one it could explain a lot of behavior in the late 70's..

Remember Balance Rings was the next big thing for fleets? Little Hula Hoops filled with a liquid that you attached to the wheel rim?
Where are they today?

I promise that tool for removal will not be used when you need the hose removed for repairs.

yep. I would have called BS too, but I tried it on one of my trucks (8 pallet straight truck) that goes to Ft Wayne In from Chicago and it did make a difference. Even the driver (a 30-year veteran) said the truck felt more stable in the cross-winds.

my buddy who is one of the diesel mechanics for a fleet of 60 Straight trucks and 110 tractor and trailers introduced me to them. they started with 5 trucks and 5 tractors and trailers and they saw a noticeable difference, so they purchased kits for ALL the trucks they own.
So I thought what the hell, Ill give it a shot.
