Very weird that they used an Oetiker clamp on one side, and a spring tension style clamp on the other.
this is for ease of install. The oetiker clamp is intended to be left in place. The spring tension clamp makes turbocharger install/removal much, much easier than any other solution. This configuration is proven reliable and if you look at any other big OEM (BMW, honda, etc) you can see they all use this configuration of turbocharger coolant hose

here is a detailed video showing the removal of turbos and installing our coolant line kit, with info on the pinch clamp vs oetiker:

In the video the turbos go in with the lines assembled and clamps in place accept for the fitting on the drivers side to the back of the head. I get that spring clamps are used by OEM's and generally are reliable, but all those spots just seem like the perfect application for Oetiker clamps, especially since they are push lock fittings and you won't be servicing them on the vehicle and removing the hose from that fitting means cutting the hose and replacing it.

Or did you do it that way in case an end user need to clock a fitting a bit different than how they came assembled? I'm just big on congruency so it caught my eye that 3 of the hoses come pre assembled but with different clamps. Just trying to understand. Obviously cant get clamp pliers in there to pinch that clamp for the one that gets assemble in the truck.

@letsgetthisdone yes that is 100% correct. If the end user needs to re-orient a fitting for whatever reason - it's simple and easy to adjust with the pinch clamps - double oetiker clamps would remove that ability. let me know if you have any other questions
