Need info on replacing 1996 Ranger Lower Radiator Hose?

You wouldn%26#039;t think that this would be difficult but.... My Ford Ranger 6 cyl, 3 L, has a small 3/4%26quot; or so hose coming off the lower radiator hose, besides the large connection to the bottom of the radiator, and the large connection to the engine. Sort of a %26quot;y%26quot; looking hose. The replacement hoses listed for sale only have the large connections. What is the small branch off the hose for (this hose is original) and what do I need to do to get my hose changed?





Thanks, hope that was halfways clear.... ;)|||Just one more way the goofball engineers make it harder for people to do their own repairs....have to buy the factory hose---at a huge price probably--- if aftermarket do not match.


Small hose breaks=buy the whole hose, aftermarket don%26#039;t carry or can%26#039;t reproduce=buy the factory hose, stuck in the middle of nowhere=have the truck towed because you can%26#039;t match a 15.00 section of hose...ad nauseum.|||I recommend checking with the dealer for the proper application as this hose is needed|||Transmission cooler lines--stop fooling around and go to the dealer for this work..... Is that clear??
