It cost me a little over $1,400 to replace that hose, as the tech had to almost completely disassemble the motor to get to it. Ask me if I wanted to have my hands around the engineer's neck!!!!!

Ahhhh, The famous rusted out coolant tube under the intake. Dang cheapos, making that tube outa stainless would have cost a bunch of customers and mechanics a heck of less grief.
