Sort of.
Pressure hose from cadillac valve to shroud connector came off.
Had installed valve about a month ago, used new piece of hose. Fuel line, 50psi. What was I thinking, right? It was what was on it, I didn’t give it any thought. Bled system, tested fan/TDM/clutch - runs great. Couple of local drives, no problem.
Took out for a ride today, temps at 200F, about 12mile RT, backing up into driveway heard that unmistakeable growl/whine of a power steering pump. Shut down and looked under truck. Great, blown pump.
Opened hood and saw this:

So maybe not the pump.
I’ll get it cleaned up later, but my question for the group is, which hose to use?
The picture in the manual (will, hopefully, resize):

Shows hose #26 as part #12469061
Which is, obviously, NOT what’s on it. Said part # having actual fittings.
Guess I got lucky running it these past 18 months this didn’t happen on the road somewhere.
Anyone else have similar issues with this connection/hose? Is this a “kludge”, field-expedient fix, standard, or is there something else wrong here I’m missing?
Thanks.
