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

tclappcummins · 10-08-2008, 01:04 PM

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

I did the same thing on my 04.5 after I saw a small drip.

Then I was like who is the big drip who designed that????

tclappcummins · 10-08-2008, 01:16 PM

ok maybe the title should be to all 3rd gen guys then... but my buddy said he has seen it ALOT on the 06's so I thought it may have been a 06 thing.....
