Heater hoses are two different sizes, I think...... I have one of the 'flush kits' you can pick up at the parts store, that has a couple different size T's in it. Still haven't gotten around to playin' with it.

Oh she was ran hard I redlined each shift. I believe it was Stant from RockAuto, the non Fail-Safe fellers.

I hope it works. Like I said unsure if the body lift will change it. I just got out of the woods going to run to Lowes (hour drive) and install it tonight so I'll give an update tomorrow or tonight.

Default Here it is installed

I installed one and the heat got better but still not hot at an idle. Unsure if I'm doing it right. I even had the passenger front tire of a 2 foot wall. It took more coolant but heat is still lukewarm at and idle but super hot driving.

That is exactly what I had in mind. Though, I think you want that thing point straight up.

That was the plan but it was getting dark, girlfriend was cold, I guessed on the barbs and they were a tad small. So was in a rush. Garage was full so that was done in the driveway which gets gusts of wind lol

Well today it leaked so bad I lost all the coolant in the heater core. I had to small of barb fittings and I tried to make them work but couldn't. So I have to go buy 5/8 barb fittings.
