I'm talking about D and E in the above diagram

I can't believe that you went through all that trouble and didn't delete the throttle body warmers or the stock "oil cooler".
Especially in Florida!
Our cars need all the help they can get to shed heat

Your temp gauge will drop a whole notch!

Actually thought about doing that delete. Maybe I’ll do it in the future now that I have all the tools and knowledge.

This mechanic is telling me that they have to take off the intake manifold and Lower plenum does that sound right?

Hey what's the part name and number?

it’s listed in the thread above if I recall. It’s been months since I did this so I can’t tell ya off hand (and I’m too lazy to search like you are haha) I didn’t change it at first and of course a week later my coupler broke so I bought the O’Reilly part and it fixed the problem.

pic 1 - hose & part number(s)
pic 2 - the little sucka in the back

pic 3 - ideal position for flashlight. light can be had for FREE at harbor freight. rubber band is VERY important cuz it fell a couple of times + it was stuck on the frame/wire/something..

this is the rear leak of the engine correct not the heater hose
