[s-cars] Intake Hose Coming Off

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.  Sounds like I need to get a better clamp
than the OEM one.  The only problem is that now the end of my hose is kind
of messed up so I need a new one.

Are you using worm drive clamps? They simply are not up to the task. Use
T-Bolt clamps and you should be in good shape. If you already are then maybe
your hose and/ir the connection are lubed with some old oil vapors, try
cleaning them both with some parts cleaner (brake clean etc).
