Oil Cooler Hose Recommendations?

[Fitz98]

What would you recommend for an oil cooler hose for a 98 Expedition 5.4 4x4?
Dealer part is 275, Dorman from AutoZone is 100.00.
Dorman does not have good reviews online, so I am looking for options for 100 - 150 price range.

I think only aftermarket cooler line for 98 Expedition 5.4 4x4 is Doman, I checked both Amazon and Rockauto.

$83.xx at Amazon with free shipping, $89.xx at Rockauto plus shipping plus you can use 5% discount code.

Take them to a hydraulic shop to be rebuilt???

This is what Ill be doing when the time comes:

When a substandard aftermarket is all That is available I go with OEM, especially if it is a part that can strand the vehicle.

I think that is sound advice. I have seen some reviews with Dorman where they have received years of trouble free service, some with months before the rubber hoses start to fail. I do not want to be stranded, that has happened enough times for other issues. Dealer part has lasted 17 years, so can't go wrong with that, but the price ...ouch.
