Lower radiator Hose

[gbooth]

I was loading up after a inside collector show today and noticed the lower radiator hose had sprung a leak. I had two clamps on the top so I moved 1 down over the leak and tighten it down Refilled the radiator and drove home Temp never got above 180 and when I parked it in the shed it wasn't leaking at all.. Checked the level in the radiator and it was still full... My questing is how well does the NAPA cross over fit I know that you will need to trim some off the end or is it better getting one from Saturn surplus.. I need the truck to be fixed by this weekend.. Any thoughts or advice or instructions fro any one that has used the NAPA hose as opposed to the NOS.

Thanks

I use the napa # to cross to what O'rielys had. Had to take a 1"-2" off no big deal at all.

Thanks Jason There is a NAPA across the street from my office I will pick up one tomorrow

I used the NAPA, but the Saturn one is an exact fit.

I used the napa one and trimmed an inch or 2 and it fit perfect. just make sure the rubber doesnt contact any metal and cause a rub point. if it rubs eventually it will leak.

look in the parts ref on the left side of the home page. It list a lot of "napa" numbers for a lot of parts.
