Upper hose for 5.3 s10? Hey guys, I just got my little s10 together with a 4.3 radiator and truck accessories, but I'm not liking the hacked up silverado upper radiator hose that I'm using.
Has anyone been able to find a hose that works with the 4.3 radiator on the 5.3 engine, without cutting it in two pieces? Also, what are some options for the steam pipe hose coming off of the throttle body? I tapped a barbed fitting into the hose splice, but that also looks a bit tacky, and I question how long it will last. Well, if you guys can help a guy out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
-oh one last thing. If there is an intake out there where I don't have to move my battery, give me a heads up, otherwise, I'll just get a silverado filter on a stick ebay special. Thanks again!
