    Blew a hose yesterday. Autozone is bringing me in one today from another location. Anyone have any issues with fitment from the chain store places?

    Take the old one with you. There were two types when I bought one a year ago. One fit perfectly and the other had to be trimmed because it touched the frame before turning towards the radiator. Either will work, though.

    As the above states sometimes they are longer because there made for both two row or 4 row radiators.
    If you need to shorten yours just use a new single edge blade on a scrap section of wood.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    I have one car with an after factory AC unit. That is a problem for the lower radiator hoses. I ended up cutting two up and uniting them.
