M818 Radiator Hose

[doghead]

I am trying to figure out if I can get a lower radiator hose for an M818, from a local parts place(so far, no luck). The Tm shows, PAOZZ 19207 11664468 HOSE,PREFORMED, can this be crossed to a standard commercially available hose? I am guessing that my only choice may be somewhere like, Memphis or White Owl. Has anyone here, bought a new one? Where did you get yours?. Any help is appreciated.

I think I bought mine from FRONTLINE. I can't remember the cost. Jeff is a good guy to deal with.

I hope you have an easier time than I did in replacing it. It is fairly tight getting to the hose clamps (the lower one especially). Unfortunately, it looks like my lower hose was replaced when the radiator was out so the hose clamp was turned the wrong way. I could not loosen it without removing the radiator. That turned a couple hour job into a full-day job! Good luck!

I think I'm going to be in for the same, I can see the clamp, but I cannot get on it or touch it! The head(worm-screw) is facing the cross member and close!. Thanks for your input.

that clamp is the hardest to get to of any I have ever seen. when I got my 818 I swapped all the hoses and that one was the most PITA of them all out of all my trucks

The steering gear box is loose also, so I will pull the radiator our to change the hose and tackle the box while I have more room to get at the bolts. I just love it when something so simple, turns into such a pita!
