So I bypassed the heater core..found out that one of the hoses was a bit wet..Figured out it was that the hoses were cracked and needed replaced even though I cant really see anything too huge..but then again with pressure I'm sure itll leak..Anyway. Is there a part number for these hoses? My car has a 2000 5.0 explorer motor..in an 89 LX..HAD ac on it before..Heres a pic of the hoses.. I believe the right sides diameter is 3/4 and the left side is 5/8? Idk. I need to get this shit hooked up..Tired of not driving my car.

I just got mine from autozone last weekend but have no idea the part number. I remember the description was "from pipe to core #1 and #2". The didn't have them at the store but had them transfered in the next day.

not sure if you will be able to get those to bend the way they should with out kinking the hose. Kinking the hose will limit the cooling ability of the motor...

I did it without kinking the hosing. Kept it at 2 foot and just put the 3/4 to 5/8th connector in it..No leaks, no kinks from what I can see.

Keep in mind people I have an 89 LX..not an sn95. :). Those parts wouldnt work for me, or would they?
