Exclamation 3RD GEN guys Check your hose clamps!!!!

Well guys I was installing my AFE Stage II yesterday and I noticed a lil antifreeze leak coming from the tube that comes outa the top of the radiator that feeds into the reserve tank and then I realized that there was no clamp on it and that it wasnt really on there very good and it looked like it had partially come off and if that were to come off it woulda blown antifreeze all into my intake and we know what kinda bad news that woulda been... so I talked to a buddy who is a mech for a dodge dealer and he said he's heard of that many times that some trucks got clamps put on them from the factory others didnt and he has actaully heard of cases where the tube came off blew anti into the intake motor sucked it up and well we all know the end of that story... so here are a few pics I snapped of it so you guys might wana go out and check to see if you have a clamp

yeah that's sucks that we spend so much money on these trucks and they cant do a better quality assurance to them before they head out to the dealers....dam dodge.

i noticed it too aswell when i first installed my sb intake. I just used safety wire.
