2000 K3500, 6.5 turbo diesel.
The factory hose/pipe has been removed and it now has a 3/4” hose from the T-Stat cross over to the heater core.
Coming right off the heater core nipple, about four to five inches distance there is the exhaust down pipe.
Trying to clean some appearance of what it looks like. I am thinking of replacing the heater hose that has an S bend in it to avoid the down pipe and installing a 90 degree elbow right off the heater core nipple and pointing it at an upward angle towards the rocker cover and then a short length of heater hose and another 90 degree el so that the end of that el points towards the T-Stat crossover and the fitting on the crossover where the heater hose plugs in at the crossover.
Calling on those with more knowledge of how a liquid flows and if the double L would mess up how the coolant is suppose to flow, verses the long S curves of the heater hose.
