Hey s/crew,
First of all, it's not the Hose that's wrong. It's the with of the radiator core (fins). This makes a differance for available heat transfer. The cooling system capacity between the 1.02" and 1.42" is 23.9 qts. to 25.5 qts. This difference with the larger (correct) radiator increases the cooling(heat transfer).
I am presently trying to staighten this out with my dealer. They are not that bright. In my opinion. I want what I paid for!!!

Thanks T21-
It is not just the hose. I can see every bit of difference in that .4 inches in the radiator core. It is definitely bigger. Again, I doubt I would have every had any problems, but I am glad I finally got what I was led to believe I was paying for.
