[QUOTE="Todd Z, post: 1035780, member: 58941"] The Knicks to the left of the nipple..... ALSO any chance the hose was leaking, Old hose on anew smooth nipple with no sealant and just the crappy FORD spring clamp ??? I would have siliconed the top to the bottom too.... I see the ATK lettering but I posted a pic showing the complete name I was told was on every housing. ALSO the Simmons ones I get still had sand in them and had to be washed, and the hose fittings from the sand casting were not smooth, those needed a thin layer of silicone on the hose nipples, the rad and the heater. I hope you send that back and Austekk can find the culprit.... I would like to pressure test that fitting and see if it was the hose or fitting.. [/QUOTE]
