Same size tension clamps?

[vjp8989]

Hey all. 2018 1500 Slt 5.7. I ordered 2 oem constant tension clamps for upper rad hose. (Part # 4809147AA) I understand there are different diameter sizes for each end of the hose, with the larger end being on engine side. My question is, do I need two different size tension clamps because of the size differences, or is the one clamp size I ordered the correct fit for both sides of the hose? Thank you.

Get rid of those and use worm clamps. There's a special place in He'll for the guy who invented those stupid things.

Everybody hates on spring clamps. I've never had one leak. Worm clamps always need snugged up after first install.

Can't advise on the original question though, sorry.

I like spring clamps and don't understand why they're hated. My '95 and '98 Neons still have the originals. 2nd radiator on the '95 and 3rd radiator on the '98, I just reuse the clamps. The '95 spent the 1st half of it's life in the south while the '98 has always been in the rust belt. Worm clamps have tails that catch my sleeves and can be tightened until they crack the plastic radiator.
Why aren't you reusing the originals?

Sorry didn't see your reply brother. Had radiator replaced and they tossed the oems ‍ They insisted on the worms, which of course have been giving me trouble since. I already replaced the spring for the radiator side, and surprise surprise, no leaks.

I go for the tension clamps too. It really helps to have a Tension Clamp Removal Tool if you don't already.

Back to your question, shows in this diagram they are different. Cheers
