Any one have any pics and a part# for lower radiator hose instead of crossover pipe used with explorer front dress conversion . I think some one came up with one that worked

Are you running the stock in/out radiator? That would be great to know there is something that works without the crossover tube. Are you running electric fan or explorer fan?

Try this thread. I have been using it for the last four months and 4000 plus miles with no issues.

Call the parts store you got it from and ask them if there is an "alternate" hose for that application. We ran into that when doing a friend's conversion and there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the different numbers (completely different hoses by the way) for the same engine/chassis application.
We assumed that there was some sort of optional equipment offered, or a mid-year change perhaps. It did not list it as a different engine though, just as an "alternate" part. And it was a definitely a much better fit.

Having said that, it didn't really fit perfectly either, so we ended up using the steel crossover after all.

Seems the one we got was still slightly different from Pedestrian's model, OR the setup in this Bronco was a little different from his. I'll see if I can get some pics in case it comes up again.

Stock radiator, Explorer fan, not perfect but it works.
