Re: Upper Rad Hose question
Something about the possibility of a long rubber hose sagging and making contact with the alternator belt.

Re: Upper Rad Hose question
The engine on the 4 wheel drive trucks sits WAY back compared to the 2x4 trucks. This is so they can get enough length on the front driveshaft. Notice the deep fan shroud as well.

Re: Upper Rad Hose question
Yeah, when you have to rotate the oil pump drive with a screwdriver to line things up and you have a 4" lift and 35's it gets contortionist interesting!
