Lower rad hose

[Andreas]

was pretty sure the lower rad hose were a syty specific part. Just had a memory reading that somewhere but after some research I found this old and good thread
http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5607&highlight=radiator+hose+lower

So I guess I will be fine with this one then?

Re: Lower rad hose

That Summit hose doesn't look right. Just pull your hose and go to a NAPA store and that way you can match 'em up. Be sure to check the water pump weep-hole also (as mentioned in the other thread) my leaked there only when running as well.

You can get correct lower & upper in a Goodyear Hi Miler hose kit.

i 2nd the goodyear hi-miler setup.
I am running the std 4.3 kit and it all clears just fine.
I did some extra trimming in a couple spots just to tighten up the bends.

Cover it with some braided steel hose cover or you can use Spectre colored braided hose cover.

Unfortunaly I dont have NAPA or any other US part over-the-counter-store over here but you're right its the best thing to look at the part in person. The picture in the summit linky isn't the actual part.

Thats exactly whats going on with my WP to. Only leaks when running.
How did you fix that?

Blue runs 5* cooler.

Re: Lower rad hose

Actually changing the water pump, once you have one :lol: , is allot easier than it looks. draining the coolant and pulling that lower rad hose is half the battle right there. Just be sure to loosen the clutch fan nuts before you remove the serpentine belt. Remove the top half of the fan shroud and you're there.

Another hint: If they haven't been changed or replaced since the truck was new, now is a perfect time to replace both the idler (plastic:tdown: to steel:tup: ) and tensioner pulleys.
