go get it ordered and then when you get it let me know what you think, i need one of those as well.

menace121978 · 04-01-2010, 07:12 PM

ok!

1 more question... do i need the hose connector like the stock one on the pass. side tank? i cant remember if it goes to the heater core or if the ls water pump bypasses it?

bigdnew · 04-01-2010, 07:14 PM

i though both heater hose lines went to the water pump. the only thing that goes to the radiator is the steam line for the intake.

menace121978 · 04-01-2010, 07:23 PM

gotcha... i was looking at my old one and didnt remember "freds" getting plugged.

bigdnew · 04-01-2010, 07:40 PM

so you finally got the pan.

That hose connector on the pass side tank is where I am going to hook up my steam line. Both heater hoses on the truck go to the LS water pump. If your new radiator doesnt have that hose connector you will need the adapter that splices into the upper radiator hose to hook the steam line to.
