Hello! Could use some help, if possible.
I am building a stroked/supercharged 4.0l for my FX4....yeah, engine swap would be smarter...hoping to build an OM606 eventually...but that is neither here nor there.
I cannot find silicone hoses for my model year...I have found hose kits for 2004+ ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078N43KGY/?coliid=I19Y2L9EAKSOXJ&colid=OK1ZV9VLHCZI&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ), but nothing for my truck. I want the better hoses as this is an overlander build, and ANYTHING I can do to cut down on the risk of being screwed on the trail is going to happen.
Can anyone tell me if there is really a huge difference between 03' and 04'? Like simply more or less hoses, or needing to trim a hose here or there? Those kits are exactly what I want, but...again...not my model year! I can't even find a hose kit of any kind for my truck just to compare pics.
Thank you!
Eric
