Oh and for those who would think about getting the more expensive parts to do this to their truck instead of using the Jegs brand stuff, I will say this I am actually very impressed with Jegs branded parts they are really high quality parts and I highly recommend them. Yeah you could get the more expensive stuff they sell from other brands but price doesn't make them better. Just thought I would put that out there as they really do sell great quality parts at way cheaper prices.

thanks for posting those parts ya used. this seems like a better route than trying to relocate the stock jug and it looks better too imo. I'm really interested to see how well it works out during our hot and humid summer/fall months we get down here. do you have a larger radiator or ya still rocking the stocker? if you already posted it in here, my bad, I didn't/haven't read the whole thing yet.

Well, it sure looks good, but if you do it that way you really want the cap to be on the low side of the pump. Right now its on the high side since the top hose is the feed to the radiator and the bottom one is the return.

I guess I don't understand what you mean. If it is on the low side, you wouldn't be able to open the cap..

Not exactly. That rad cap is on top of the radiator and thats fine. Yours is in the coolant flow path.

Gonna have to see how it works out, don't think I will have any issues with it but you never know ill just have to see how it does. From reading your link and how it is setup on my truck looks like I'm still within there guidelines. Yes it is on the top hose but it is still the highest point and that hose doesn't fill up completely. Also the cap doesn't restrict flow at all its straight through. When I was filling the coolant up it was flowing into the pump from the radiator not from pump to radiator.
