Installation Notes

Measure the hose path before cutting to length and confirm the 1.75 in. inside diameter matches both connection points. Verify routing, clamp placement, and clearance around belts, pulleys, and hot engine components before final installation. For fitment-specific applications such as the 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood thermostat-to-water-pump route or the 1985-1987 Toyota Land Cruiser lower hose location, match the listed position and notes exactly.
