suppose, after doing the bypass, the radiator were to fail.........bellwilliam wrote:just did the bypass. easier done than describing it. but I did not use any additional parts. no coupler, no hose clamp (reuse original), no zip tie.
you have 2 hoses -
hose A - from external transmission cooler to radiator (passenger side)
hose B - from radiator (driver side) to engine block.
take hose A off radiator (passenger side) and plug into engine block
take hose B off engine block and plug into radiator (passenger side), forming a loop within.
reuse all the old hose and clamp. length is perfect.

would the original "spring type" clamps have sufficient tension to keep hose B from blowing off due to coolant pressure?
I redid my bypass today to reflect the above diagram. It just makes more sense than the ridiculousness I had with a bunch of zip ties before.bellwilliam wrote:just did the bypass. easier done than describing it. but I did not use any additional parts. no coupler, no hose clamp (reuse original), no zip tie.
