upper rad hose

Does somebody make a upper radiator hose that you do not have to remove to change serpentine belt? Thanks for your help!

Yes.It's available from most good auto parts stores like NAPA and is used in the dual alternator configuration. I just put one on myself but had a tough time locating one wihtout going to the Stealerships. About $20 if memory serves me correct.

Yes, as PSnut said. But make sure you tie the rad hose to the alternator or is can come in contact with the serpentine belt. The alternator has a nice little half round spot for the rad hose.

Go to NAPA and tell them you want the upper hose for dual alternator. Or do a search and you should find the part number.
