Coolant Line/Hose: Description and Operation





The 3.0L engine uses metal piping beyond the lower radiator hose to route (suction) coolant to the water pump, which is located in the V of the cylinder banks.
These pipes are provided with inlet nipples for thermostat bypass and heater return coolant hoses, and brackets for rigid engine attachment. The pipes employ O-rings for sealing at their interconnection and to the water pump.
