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

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>> Ther!

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>>
