Freightliner radiator hose clamps

I have never had to add coolant to my 2007 Discovery until now. Before we left to winter in Arizona I noticed a coolant leak while it was in my storage shed. It was a corroded radiator hose clamp, now we are are in Flagstaff Freighliner with another coolant leak caused by another corroded and failed radiator hose clamp. My thinking is they must have had some bad hose clamps at about that era. Just informing others with this vintage Freighliner chassis. At least there are a lot of Freighliner service centers around.;)

Went to these clamps when I replaced the hoses.. they adjust to changing temperatures without leaking.

3 out of 4 clamps failed.The last one was on top of the engine away from road corrosion. Bad clamps in my opinion. The Freightliner people here in Flagstaff have been nice to deal with.
