Default Procharger install questions 99 formula

The most important one, do I have to do anything for the coolant pipes that cross behind the fans. The kit is off a 2000 and the 2000 is all rubber and my 99 has a hard metal line about a foot long.

My install book doesn't say anything about moving them but they are different so i was wondering what’s up.

Second one, how come the 98-99 uses different length bracket spacers, I need a 1.5 and the 00-02 use a 1.625, what’s the difference?

Your car is equipped with a power steering cooler. Thats what the aluminum piece in your top radiator hose is. Its not just an option on 99, all years had that option. My 02 TA was originally equipped with the option as well. You can keep it if you want, and everything will work as designed. It just makes access to the tensioner bolt pretty difficult to get to. Not a big deal when the car is cool, but when youve been driving around for a while, it gets hot and is a hassle to move it to tighten the belt if needed. I ended up ditching my PS cooler for that very reason. Ive also heard of a couple of cases where people's PS cooler would start to leak PS fluid into their coolant, and vise-versa. Not a good thing to be worrying about.

The various years require the different lengths of spacers to keep the bracket in alignment. I sell the spacers at these two links, with options for the difference in years. Bob

the cooler lines run through ur radiator as well so if ur power steering cooler line brakes it will like into ur radiator.same concept with ur coolant.
