Default Re: Upper Radiator hose ALERT
Now another thing I discovered tonight.
The SRT has a slightly different oil filter housing than the N/A to hold a clamp to secure the radiator hose.
Also the SRT has a single piece upper radiator hose and the N/A has a 2 piece upper radiator hose which is connected with a "union" which has a fitting for the smaller tube which goes to the overflow tank/ reservoir.
The hoses on the N/A that are connected to the "union" have press fit clamps which can not be loosened or removed.
This requires the entire assembly to be replaced.

Photos to illustrate this below...........
