Heads up on rubbing hoses

[chucky]

While inspecting under my 1083 today and discovered the metal coolant line coming down to the round trans cooler below the fan on p. side comes into contact with the 2 blue rubber heater hoses i think i didnt trace the but they had just started rubbing the 2 rubber hoses tucked back in the iner frame rail so i used same kind of ruuber hose and made a sleve to go around the metal tube coming down and tie strapped so maybe save 100 bucks in antifreeze on the side of the road ! O.A.O.

One piece of advice, and this is especially important for hydraulic hoses that see impulse and vibration, is to apply the chafe gear to both sides if possible.
