Purchased this truck and it was wrecked in front. I had to purchase a radiator and install it. I have my primary inlet and outlet hoses connected correctly, also have transmission and oil coolant lines connected correctly. One of my hoses from the firewall is connected at the back top portion of my intake, but the hose located to the left on the firewall looking at the truck from front has no place that I can see or find to connect it. Where does it connect?

Good morning,

Is there a fitting on top of the water pump? That is usually where the other heater hose goes.

If not, then can you attach pictures of under the hood so I can see what you see?

I have new water pump. It has a allan head lug in the top/bolt, looks like a spot for a connection!
