I. Install the 5/8" x 20" long heater hose onto
the upper oil cooler line fitting. Slide the
supplied 12" long heat sleeve over the
heater hose to protect it from exhaust heat.
Route the hose up and around to the 90
°
fitting on the water pump. (The hose will run
near the exhaust manifold.) Secure both
ends of the hose with clamps provided. (See
Figure 2-e .)
J. Install the 5/8" x 24" long heater hose with
the 90
°
molded end to the lower left side
fitting on the radiator. (The 90
°
end of the
hose must be trimmed slightly to fit as close
as possible to the radiator.) Route the hose
along the frame (front to rear) and around
to the lower oil cooler line barb fitting. (For
non-oil cooler applications, reattach the
factory coolant hose to the previously rotated
elbow located on the water pump. Connect
this hose to the 5/8" hose coming from the
lower radiator using the supplied 5/8"
hosemender and #8 clamps. Slide the
orange heat sleeve over the hoses to protect
them from exhaust heat. Trim hose length if
necessary. Clamp and secure both ends of
the hose using the supplied #8 clamps and
tie wraps to avoid sharp corners and moving
parts. An adel clamp and 10mm nut have
been supplied to secure the hose to the anti-
roll bar mount.
K. Refill cooling system.
