Thumbs down Radiator hose question?

Do the screw in line to the radiator go over or under the bottom radiator hose? Thanks in advance -Aden

Re: Radiator hose question?

I don't understand what the "screw in line" is. Transmission cooling lines?

Re: Radiator hose question?

Are you talking about the hose clamp screw? If so it doesn't matter as long as its easily accessed.

Re: Radiator hose question?

i would say that put it where it works the best, you may have to bend the metal line some for it to clear the rad. hose. not for sure if it goes below or above, i don't have a auto in mine to go look at, i would just put it where it works the easiest and the best fit....

Re: Radiator hose question?

Don't think it matters. Those are the factory transmission cooler lines. As long as the fan don't hit them.

Noticed the big gaping hole in that inner fender under the battery. Mine looked almost that bad when I bought my truck 7 years ago.

Re: Radiator hose question?

they generally come out under the motor over the cross member under the hose and up the radiator to the fittings, but it really doesnt matter, just need to run them so they dont hit the fanbut with a shroud they shouldnt come close to the fan and dont rub on the frame to cause a hole later and away from headers,they can be fun to run some times, hope it works out
