Default Need some Help With Coolant Lines - Search Not Working

What do you guys do with the small line off the cross-over pipe after removing the heater core. Do you just use a T fitting in a "loop" off the water pump? Mine is T'ed off of one of the heater hoses right now. Well, it was...

Your taking about the steam line from the T/B (or is your T/B bypassed) ?

If so, You could T it into the upper rad hose or if your Rad has a open port to use and add a fitting (not the overflow tube). Some have drilled and tapped the upper flat spot on the water pump to add a fitting.

Jagsthatruns have many T fitting in many size that will work for your rad.

The first pic is where the line comes out of the crossover pipe under the intake. The second pic is where the line goes. Those hoses are off the water pump and went to the heater core. Not how I plan on running it - Just put the hose on to keep it from leaking.

Thanks for the input...

That line typically goes to a fitting on the engine side of the radiator fill cap area.
If you have a different radiator than the 98-02's you may need to find another place to send it.

I spend more time removing stuff that the so called shop put in. Those hoses are just one more on the list.
