CHARGE COOLER HOSE ROUTING
18.A ESCALADE/DENALI CHARGE COOLER HOSE ROUTING
*** NOTE ***
When routing hoses, refer to Fig. 18.A-a.
A. Cut a 13.5" length of 3/4" hose. Run this
from the 90° fitting on the charge air cool-
er to the straight brass fitting on the surge
tank.
*** NOTE ***
Make sure to leave the hose slightly long to allow for
engine movement.
B. Cut a 36.5" length of 3/4" hose. Run it
from the bottom fitting on the surge tank
along the fender toward the front and
down to the 90° brass fitting on the top of
the water reservoir.
C. Take the supplied 4" x 12" 90° molded
elbow and cut 1-3/4" from the 4.0" end.
Connect the trimmed end to the straight
brass fitting on the charge air cooler. Route
the long end
toward the surge
tank. Cut a 110"
length of hose
and connect it to
the end of the
installed molded
elbow with the
supplied 3/4"
union. Route the
hose along the
fenderwell,
down toward the
water reservoir
and up under the
front bumper.
There is a small
opening in the
rubber apron
between the
bumper and A/C
condenser. Pull
the hose up and
through, then
connect it to the
passenger’s side
90° fitting.
D. Cut a 64" length of 3/4" hose. Run it from
the outlet of the water pump to the same
hole in the rubber apron you pulled the
previous hose through. Pull the hose up
and through, then connect it to the driver’s
side 90° fitting.
E. Secure all hose ends with the supplied
nylon clamps.
F. With the key on, make sure the charge
cooler water pump is operating and that
water is flowing through the surge tank.
Fill the surge tank if necessary. If the water
is not flowing, remove the charge cooler
supply hose and lower until water flows
out of the hose. If necessary, provide light
suction to the hose to help prime the
pump. Verify water flow. Do not let the
pump run for extended periods (30 seconds
or more) without water flow. Fill the
charge cooler tank until the level stabilizes.
