Okay the following picture is of my 01 f-150 supercrew v8 5.4L Coolant Overflow Recovery Tank radiator overflow coolant box . My question is where does the hose in the yellow square in the picture connect to? I looked along side the radiator but could not find a place it should plug into.


Thanks

 

is that the oem over flow tank and radiator? if so it should slide onto a nipple up next to the cap. you said you looked all around the radiator and couldnt find nothing. thats odd to me. that should connect to the radiator just the same for all makes and models. i havent seen it done differently. you might wanna buy a new/used radiator with that nipple on it.

 

No dice senor. The radiator on the 01 f-150 supercrew does not have a neck like others. Kind of strange and thing looking. But thanks though.

 

It looks like you are FUBAR'd. The hose in your picture has a nipple stuck in it. If you moved the rad, looks like you did form your picture you may have broken it off. Start your truck and when it warms up you will see the little hole that you left in the rad. Here a few pics that I just snapped showing where it connects to the rad.

no prob bob, that's why they invented JB weld

 

Great pics whent out an sure enough. Nuts. I think what I'm going to do is use a drill in hollow tip which should allow me to connect it back to the overflow collector.
