Still can't find heater hoses?!?
1st question) Rarely drive the 00' but figure I'll play with it a bit, tuner her up, replace stuff, lift her etc. Had a CEL pop on with a kinda rough idle and a hesitation/stutter depending on speed and rpm, like especially on the highway in OD some gas and it stutters bad. Scanner showed only code was a misfire on cylinder 8, assuming plug/wires which I'll be replacing anyway. But I was going to run seafoam through PCV and since I know it fouls up plugs anyway, ok with a misfire?
2) replacing hoses (upper and lower radiator etc). The two hoses from the heater core on the 5.0 there's not much info in Haynes or what to do. Think from searching one is supply and one is return. On the autoparts stores I've checked I cannot figure out what part it is, on advanceauto the only thing that shows in their system is "heater hose" for the 5.0, doesn't say supply, or return, and the lines look kinda different from the one in their system. Here's what they show http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/carquest-by-dayco-molded-heater-hose-87668/19590309-P?searchTerm=heater+hose . Is that it? Does two of those replace the factory ones, b/c they twist in such an awkward angle on the V8 vs the 6's that are straight out and easy.
here's a pic. one still has a t-adaptor for flushing from like 5 years ago, but never used it as the stupid t-stat housing bolts seized and broke off and had to have a shop drill out and let them deal with the coolant and flush.
and where they both twist down too which is hard to see in the 1st pic
