hole in bottom radiator hose

Just dropped the SD off to get repaired. It seems that the 6.0 is knocking off the bottom coolant hose with the steering shaft. I was lucky and a hole was rubbed into it, now I have to wait until they order a new one and replace. My question was what are they going to do to keep that from happening again, they didnt have an immediate answer. Truck has 28,900mi.

If you have an 03 engine, the replacement should clear the steering box. Been there..Done that.
