Coolant Water Tank And Hose Qwestion


Recommended Posts

88 Eliminator 4.0 5 speed                 ...I have some make shift old water hose 5/8" with extra hose clamps that I put on years ago & Ive never finished doing my coolant system the Right way.  So Ive always had a micro slow water leak.   Now-  I need a WATER REVERVIOR tank & can't find one.      Anyone know where i can get one for 20ish or so dollars?          

 

 PLUS- one day I seen a 91 cherokee that had the same setup (water reservior tank) as my comanche .......except they had some weird 5 valved junction water tubing of some kind which really made everything look clean & tidy cuz all hoses connected to that multi connector thing. I'm dying to know what this juntion type mutitube thing was so I can get one.

Anyway,I need a water tank for my Comanche.

Dorman 603-300 with cap.

 

I'm waiting for delivery on this from Advance Auto $34 without discount.  $29 with...and no shipping charges with big bucks purchase.  Amazon had it for $22 but Amazon is like NAPA, they figure out some way to jack the price up higher than anyone else.

 

If the cap on this thing is like the replacement Dorman cap I bought recently it will come close to hitting the hood...it's too tall.  Had to give a little bend to the bracket to clear.  The inside gasket depth is OEM but outside the thing is just too tall.

 

You guys really need to download the Jeep parts book PDF then Google by Jeep part number to find these things correctly.  Find the book by Googling Jeep Manuals.  I found the 88 parts manual and the Renix manual at the same place.  No...it was last year and I don't remember where.  I got the idea to look from someone on this blog.

wow that sucks.   but they know when we need something we;ll pay what they want usually,or someone will at some point.

Overpriced? I paid $55 just 'cause everything is more money in Canada. Retail at the local auto parts store was $68 so I bought online to save cash. That's a whole other topic though...

Fortunately my truck is not my daily driver so I can almost always wait a week to get a part. I saved good cash too by buying my harmonic balancer from RockAuto. Normally I can get anything from the US in a week and it's less money, sometimes like 1/2 price.
