Re: placement of overflow tank

I wish I had pics but I've put some thought into this future challenge. A member put his (made from plastic pipe) on the passenger side, between grill and radiator core support.

Depending on the diameter of this thing you have, it could go on either side of the radiator, on the engine side of the radiator core support.

Re: placement of overflow tank

The PO of my truck put the overflow on the driver's side, radiator support, right next to the rad. It looks like a plastic windshield washer bottle, but it has two rubber hoses going into the cap: one for coolant in from the rad, the other for any possible overflow.

Looks factory. I will try to get a picture later today, and post it up.

Thanks at the least I can see where it's mounted and see how I can make mine fit
