So I’ve had this happen twice now, and a buddy has had it happen as well… The coolant hose on the left side comming off the radiator to the bottom of the motor has been ripped off once while riding through some brushy mountain riding, ( had to coast downhill to the truck), and another time while crawling in 4 Lo, the left front tire kicked up a rock and punctured the hose about 2" from the end at the bottom connection about 12 miles from the truck. Luckily I was able to cut the end off and reattach it and had a 2 litre water bottle in my pack that I was able to fill it most of the way and limp home. That hose seems to be pretty exposed there. Has anyone else ran into this issue and had to get creative to fix it?
I brought some hose armour home from work and just temporarily fixed it for now, it’s not bullet proof but it’ll help until I can make something more sturdy.
