Hey all,
Just wanted to post this to share for anyone searching in the future. We know the aftermarket radiators are not perfect (this KKS unit is pretty dang nice though), and such the upper radiator hose inlet/outlet was shifted over toward the passenger side too much and caused the usual slant 6 upper radiator hose not to work.
I spotted a picture of a hose on ebay, found the part number, did some searching to confirm inlet/outlet size and then found one local. Surprisingly, it fits pretty darn well. Trimmed 1" off of one end but it gives the "zig zag" needed for this radiator.
Just know we're sometimes searching for info of something another guy has done and wanted this available to anyone looking.
