Gary Carterjust replaced the top hose on our 5.9B. It was 1 3/4' and 32" long. The longest NAPA hose was 22" in the diameter. NAPA sent me to a rubber company that has all sizes of hose and will cut to length. Worked for me.
These companies also may sell belting. In Yuma, it is a farm supply store. Bought my new fuel tank hose in Yuma.

lenny and judyGoodyear did not have the hose .Napa did not have one.Flying j did not have one .Finely got it from a heavy equipment parts store.put on 70 miles. The reason I changed it was because the 2-1/4 hose was 3 inches just soft rubber.The raditor pressure checks out at 16 lbs and holds the cap checks out at 7 lbs when I travel the system stays at 180 even going up hills in Virginia before the tunnels. think I should change the cap?
