Before moving onto the plumbing, I had also route the coolant lines under the van into the engine compartment. I needed about 2 runs of 30' each and I called around to a couple of auto parts stores and they told me $2/foot. I found 50' boxes on Amazon for $49, so times 2 that was still less than what the autoparts stores wanted. Now I either have spare hose or I can sell it to the next van builder. I digress.
More hose leaking out of the bottom of the van.
Routed along the passenger side floorboard
and out of the hood
Still to be done, tie into the heater core outlet. But since I am currently having some issues with lack of heat, I am not doing anything where the dealer till tell me you don't have heat due to x, y or z. Van is going to the shop tomorrow for that and a boatload of recalls.
But of course the hose installation is not complete until I made some more custom brackets. I think instead of rating the complexity of a job with a number of wrenches, I will it by the number of brackets I had to fabricate. More ornaments for the tree.
