7. THERMOSTAT HOUSING RELOCATION (2005-2006 Only)

Fig. 7-a

Fig. 7-b

Fig. 7-c

It will be necessary to relocate the thermostat

housing to gain clearance for the supercharger

mounting bracket.

Locate hose 7U133-050. This hose will be modi-

fied and replace the factory lower radiator hose

removed in a previous step. (See Fig. 7-a.)

Modify the supplied hose as seen in the figures

below. (See Figs. 7-b, 7-c.)

Trim approximately 5" off of the 9" end of the hose

and 5-1/4" off the 13" end. (See Fig. 7-c.)

Install the long end of the modified hose to the

outlet of the radiator with a #24 hose clamp.

Leave the clamp loose for adjustment.

Install the thermostat housing to the open end of

the new, lower radiator hose and the large formed

factory hose. Adjust the thermostat’s location mak-

ing sure it clears any moving parts.

NOTE: Because of manufacturing toleranc-

es, it is best to leave this hose long

and trim to fit.
