thanks, thats it but not sure i have one either??More than one catalog lists that as the coolant bypass, but I don't remember ever seeing that hose on any of my 2.9s either.

My 2.8 had the thermostat up high and it had a bypass hose too.I know the 2.8 has a bypass hose when the thermostat is located in the timing cover like mine.
The cold coolant loop with thermostat closed is kinda weird on the 2.8. I'm not sure any of that will apply to the 2.9.
