I acquired a 1986 M1008 CUCV pickup from a GSA auction recently. While changing out the original heater hoses, I squeezed the short coolant hose that runs between the cross-over housing and water pump fitting.
It felt "soft", so I removed it and discovered it was split (cut ?) on the backside and ready to blow...
So, don't forget to replace that short hose too...
EDIT: Couple of you guys asked and were answered by others, but this hose is 5/8" ID - so buy an extra foot of heater hose and you'll have plenty left to do this "short" hose job...
