Coolant Hose FYI
Just as a heads up, be aware of your hose placement/routing. I purchased my '97 F-250 PSD a few months ago and have developed a coolant leak from the hose that leads to the expansion tank. It was wittled away by the frame rail. It looks like the original hose and has the original clamps on it. There's no protective cover on it and maybe it never had one but after 88k it finally sprung a leak. I hope this will be the impetus for you to take a closer look next time you're under the hood. I wasn't stranded or anything, luckily coolant is rather pungent and I noticed it relatively quickly. Like I said just a heads up.
