Not the bypass hose, but there's another hose, but little confused. I read after '98 the 5.0 trucks didn't use oil cooler anymore or something like that. So what does this hose run from, it connects from something to the water pump. Figure I'm replacing all the hoses, this actually looks ok but might as well replace it. Snapped a quick pic before I left, as not sure if it's molded or flexible?

Looks like connection to the metal tube which runs under the intake manifold to the heater.

^^ that is the longer water pump hose yes.
Think it would work? So weird how aftermarket parts look nothing like factory lol.

Here's what mine looked like, and now I know why people curse this hose, bruised the crap outta my knuckles. Wonder if I should try the shaping coil and heater hose (think this is 5/8th inner diameter right?), would need it fast and rockauto rush shipping is crazy high (go fig though just did that for the heater core hoses as thought I would be done that weekend, nope lol).

My local NAPA sells a piece of hose with multi bends in it, you match up the section that's close to what you need, cut off the ends, and you're in business.
