I need the hose that runs from the bottom of the reservoir down to the radiator on a 1996 K1500 6.5 diesel Suburban.

Part numbers or anything would be a help

Thanks
 
I was trying to avoid going to town. It's easier just to order and have it delivered. And it's going to cost me $10 to drive to town and back.

It looks like the hose is 1" at the reservoir and 5/8" after that. Can anybody verify that?

They also have Ac Delco hose 1996 GMC K1500 SUBURBAN 6.5L V8 DIESEL Turbocharged
Cooling System : Radiator Lower Hose
ACDELCO # 18129L {#88907569} 5/8" x 1" x 43-5/16" Professional|Molded

If nobody knows I will have to get down and have a look. Going to have to go there sooner or later. I actually had a hose here like that. I thought it was a Washing machine hose. I think I pitched it

The hose that is on the Suburban is 1" for as far as I can see. It does not look like the hoses that rockauto has pictured. No bell on the end
 
The part number was incorrect. I think.

I ordered an AC Delco hose from Amazon. It showed up damaged on the 1" end. I sent it back and ordered another. This time I got a hose for a Ford. But it was similar. Amazon refunded my money and I kept the hose.
Cindy went on a mission to Watseka and got me a hose from Napa 11663. 1" on the big end and 5/8" on the small end.

Finished taking my hose off after draining the rest of the antifreeze. Found out my hose was 3/4" on the small end.

Low and behold the Ford hose was 3/4" on the small end. I was able to cut the quick connect fitting off and use it after all.

Still have to take the other hose back to Napa.

I never looked to see what size the small end was on the AC Delco hose that I returned.
