Power steering hose alternate

I replaced the power steering hose that came with the install kit as the one that shows the part number in the pics is one piece - has a heat/abrasion shield and fits the same as the one you send out with 3 pieces and requires 4 clamps. THe cost retail to me was around $50.00 from Pelican Parts.

Topped off power steering fluid and as the snow melted off the roads and no salt down took the M out for a "minor" run. Very slowly for 3 miles - nothing fell off or caught on fire so - hit er a bit and can spin the tires in 1st and 2nd anytime you want with the road a little damp so = certainly more power - seat of the pants - great - unfortunately will have to wait for any more running. We are getting 6 inches of snow tonight.
