Hello trkfrk
Nice setup you have there buddy!!
I don't know if there is any difference on the water pump side between your LS1 & my LQ9 6.0 truck motor?
Do you think these hoses would work on my truck motor?
I'm more familure with the truck motors.

I believe the water pumps are different for the upper hose. The best way to Identify the hoses you need is to draw out the dimensions you would like your hose to be with overall lengths and bends. Go to a Napa store and ask them for a hose book and go by dimensions and not by application. This is how I found my hoses. I will see if I can find the Napa book in a PDF. Hope this helps...

It's mentioned in this thread, it helped me find what I needed last week. I didn't have a local auto parts that carried Gates, so I ended up with a Dayco C71588 for the upper and a D70649 for the lower. I had to cut the expanded end off the lower, and trim the upper some too. If anybody has found a better fit, please post part numbers.

I'm using a Griffin universal LS 31x19" radiator. Made my own upper brackets.

Thanks man! Let me know if you need more info.

Update: I ended up having a leak on my first radiator that I couldn't find. I called Summit Racing, & found out, that I had a 2 year warranty. They shipped me a brand new one with no questions asked. Also, those 16" Spal fans cool so well, I don't think the second fan has ever turned on

Yes it helps & thank you for your time

Used R&D with no problem. It also was a little shorter than stock which gave me good clearance for 4" air intake tube across to lower grill on driver's side.

My griffin leaked. Since It's useless now, thinking about cutting it up to see... any takers? And I'll be going with an RnD soon. I have not read one complaint about his leaking...

I forgot about this thread lol. I am on my 4th Griffin (all replaced under warranty). I had to make a few calls directly to Griffin for them to help me resolve the problem. They definitely have an issue with their radiators. I ended up building a cross support underneath the radiator to fix the hammock effect. So far so good.
