[Shotimes] coolant hose availability

[Kenneth]

Motorcraft has discontinued the U shaped hose.Part #KM-1719,or E9DZ-8548-A.I did locate some that a dealer had squirreled away.I bought 7 of them.I think there are only 3 left.I got 2 from green sales,boy was that a mistake.

Alan:<br> We (the SHO community) are down to only 5 out 10 molded hoses being <br>available for the SHO. Either MTX or ATX. RCM has the five that I know are <br>still available. The two big upper and lower radiator hoses. The U-shaped <br>oil cooler hose and the two heater hoses that attach to the heater core at <br>the firewall.<br>http://home.earthlink.net/~rcm_automotive/id15.html<br><br>Josh at SHO nut has only 3 hoses listed anymore.<br>http://www.shonutperformance.com/<br><br>Cincy SHO (are they part of Bittersweet now?) has only the two big radiator <br>hoses.<br>http://www.cincysho.com/Taurus_SHO/Ford_SHO_Catalog/60k-Maintenance.htm<br><br>I recently just went through a total hose replacement. I brought the 5 old <br>hoses not available down to the local O'Reilly auto parts store and just <br>matched up shapes as best I could and then cut them to fit. Not perfect but <br>it's all we have. Last time I checked Ford had nothing available.<br>.<br>.<br><br><br><br>> There 
are two coolant hoses on the radiator side of the engine, one a <br>> short<br>> u-shaped piece that starts and ends adjacent to the oil filter, and one <br>> that<br>> starts up by the t-stat area and terminates near the oil filter.  Does<br>> anyone know if either or these is available aftermarket?  Or still <br>> available<br>> From Ford?<br>><br>> Thx.<br>><br>>    Alan<br>_______________________________________________<br>Shotimes mailing list<br>Shotimes@autox.team.net<br>http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo/shotimes<br>
