[QUOTE="Tob, post: 16462901, member: 83412"] [USER=66341]@Micah442[/USER] Well done. His hose is pinched. Micah, I don't know if you are aware of it but there have been dozens (my own count is up to ~40) and likely hundreds of '20 GT500's that are being delivered with a severely constricted coolant hose. From the GT500's that Ford sent to the Ford Racing School to numerous forum members that went out and verified they had the issue too - all had this problem. Flat Rock isn't interested in mitigating the issue. I know, I tried to talk to them about it. Nobody is holding back the hose when the engine is put into position on the assembly line. It is this hose I have the arrow pointing to from a cropped snippet of the photo you uploaded. [ATTACH=full]1654444[/ATTACH] There is a pointed fastener that runs forward through the firewall that is piercing the protective sheathing and can/will penetrate the hose itself between the firewall and the rear corner of the supercharger. It is what is holding your hose over to the right.
