Have a big time coolant leak coming from the hose pictured below. Radiator won't hold coolant, and engine is overheating. I poured a gallon of distilled water into the radiator, and found a gushing leak from this hose. Looking for help on what the name of the part is so that I can replace it...
I recently did my intake manifold gaskets and while I was there, I replaced the stupid leaking upper thermostat housing. It had been leaking around the gasket for some time and with coolant at $20 per now, I figured it was a good $15 investment.
All said and done, I buttoned it all up and...

Ended up getting an all aluminum...

I had a leak and just replaced the A/C line on my 94 Explorer Sport. The A/C was blowing hot air and I assumed it was just due to no R134 in the system. I charged the system and could only get it to 25psi. When I let it run for a second, the pressure release valve on the back of the compressor...
So kind of like a cook who needs a recipe book I am a mechanic that needs a manual to fix things so when I find an unconnected wire and don't know what it's called I have no clue how to discover where it's supposed to go.
