you take the alt bracket off and replace the two elbows, they have a metal set now. they tend to crack or blow clean apart.

Yep, coolant elbow

Yup quick trip to the parts store and your back in business no need for a tow truck.

My upper elbow cut loose last night. Broke off both ends at the O-ring groove. Fortunately I already had the aluminum ones on hand. It's definitely not a hard fix.

It seems like an epidemic lately. Mine let go back on Thanksgiving weekend. I fixed mine in a gas station parking lot.

Would you guys believe that Scott saw this, called me for the diagnosis then posted it?

(Scott...stealing your thunder... cause I am a Boss, not like one)
