[s-cars] was H / T soap opera, now Tommy Boy's issues

[Joseph Pizzimenti]

Guys,
My lower samco kind of pops off every 3 months or so,
if not sooner.  My guess is moisture gets in there and
if the clamp shifts AT ALL, it'll pop off eventually.
The Samco won't give up the ghost, but it's only as
strong as your clamps are on over the lips.  I'm
guessing that it shifted and part of the hose is under
the clamp.  Get it on there PERFECT and don't use
anything to slide it on.  And don't torque the clamps
too tight, either.  They have a way of coming
de-threaded when you wind them down too tight and too
fast.

Don't ask me how I know, I don't want to talk about
it.
