'03 LS V8 Coolant Bleeding, and bleeding, and...

[Gus_Mahn]

The outlet pipe (it's the back half of the thermostat housing), and the plastic parts in the middle of the two radiator hoses.

The piece in back of the thermostat housing is the bypass housing, and a plug blew out of mine. My other failure was the plastic t in the upper radiator hose. One of the hoses is available aftermarket and is much cheaper than oem. It's about $600 in plastic at retail from the dealer.

You can call it anything that you want to. Ford calls it the coolant outlet pipe.
