OK here's the deal. I'm going nuts trying to find the correct
lower radiator hose. I have a 4 row radiator and the lower
snout turns upward instead of going straight out. So the hose has to curl around the edge of the frame member and then curl
back 140(?) degrees upward to the lower connection on the
water pump. However, the hose that AutoZone and Advance
Auto and Oreilly's wants to sell me doesn't have enough curl in it
and it flattens out against the edge of the frame member.
Anybody have this problem? Do you have a source for the
correct hose?

If you click on the link you can see and image of what the
problem is.
