Changing all the coolant hoses on my 3126E. Freight liner in Mexico couldn’t help me so I ordered them from a dealer in Los Angeles. After verifying they arrived I flew up to get them. Problem is one hose wasn’t correct and neither Freightliner or Cat can ID it. I have photos and am very frustrated.
Last six of my vin is M37629
Engine #HEP35285
Post are the six old hoses. The second from the bottom is the one MIA. It 1” ID on one end and 1 1/4” on the other. The other photo is the hose routed up the front of the motor behind where the fan goes

Any help please PM me. Thanx!

Found it! Made a big deal of nothing. It is a respiration hose.

Yup! The whole post is a little embarrassing but I guess you live and learn. Surprised the Cat parts guy couldn’t find it will photos even though he was told it was a coolant hose.
