Which clamp? All stainless hose clamps. Not sure what else you would use...

Hey Tom, I understand the adjustable type ( with the screw top ) are referred to as aircraft clamps and then there are tension clamps. I lean towards aircraft clamps myself but I took my truck into the LR dealer to replace the throttle body hose? anyhow they used the tension clamps. So I got to thinking, that's all... - RR.

The problem with spring clamps (what I think you mean by tension clamps) is that, depending on the style, you ideally need special pliers designed for them to use. And while I have a set of the pliers, it's just one more thing to have in my toolbox, so I always replace them with all stainless (including the screw) worm clamps.
