that makes it a little easier to understand

If you've ever seen one, you would probably understand why they are so expensive. There are actually two hoses T'ed into it (one for the heater core return and one for the coolant tank), and the LBZ and newer trucks have a plastic coupling on the radiator end with an o-ring in it to seal it to the radiator outlet.

Dont loose the small c clip retainer on the plastic molded hose part or you will be buying a whole new hose... I dont know that or anything...LOL

Amazing how they designed that. You'd think they could have figured something else out.

They probably could have. It's a good way for them to make more money. But because of the good info from Henry, it will keep us from having to pay $140 just for a $5 clip.

 

[hondarider552]

Yea I searched all over the place for that damn clip and couldnt find anything in time so I got the whole hose..

 

[PhilsLB7]

Same thing happen to me when my mechanic at the time broke one of the clips on the fuel line. Had to pay $185 for the fuel line. Hopefully with the help here that will never happen again.

 

[hondarider552]

I still have my expensive hose and ill let it go for 75, all you need to buy is the C clip from Henry..

the one i got from O'reilly's was less than 112.99. it was listed over $100.00, but not that much over. of coarse, when Cam gets it for you, it's like $70 bucks. :secret:
