Let's see your radiator recovery tank mods.

How about some pics of what some of you guys have done for coolant recovery/recirculation tanks. My truck just had the hose under the fender to poison the thirsty dog.

I want to fix that when she goes back on the road.

Re: Let's see your radiator recovery tank mods.

Did you use another windshield washer bottle and bracket?

Yes.
The one on the rad support is original to the truck.The hose runs under the wire harness to the other side.
I put the new washer bottle on the fender.This is where it actually goes on the later trucks and there were 3 little dents where the bolts go.
It was all very easy to do.
Mike.

Re: Let's see your radiator recovery tank mods.

Yes,but you need the special radiator cap with the 2 way valves in it,so after the engine cools,the vacuum created will pull the coolant back into the radiator.
