Hose assembly around thermostat - 1/1/2008 9:06:50 AM    Jlow   Posts: 1 Score: 0 Joined: 1/1/2008 Status: offline I have a 2001 Ford Taurus 24 valve DOHC. A rubber tube coming off of the coolant resorvoir tube that T-'s into one of the radiator hoses has cracked and is now leaking fluid. I went to Ford parts and turns out, it is one big replacement part with thermostat and housing included. Where the thermostat housing goes into one of the radiator hoses, there is a short piece of hose between. It almost looks like it has been heat shrunk on. Is there anyone who has any tips for replacing this whole piece? There are multiple hose connections on it and some are very hard to get to. thanks, Jason Post #: 1
