Ruben it looks like an alternator to me!! Stop making fun of the kid!

Yes upper radiator hose. Should be under 20 bucks from your auto shop.

if you cant identify a radiator hose then you shouldnt be doing a 5 speed swap.

this is true... but the hose is about $14 or less from AZone

hey give him a break. we all started somewhere. but yes its an upper rad hose. but make sure its that maybe the inlet is broke? make sure he is specific

make its just a hose and not a cracked radiator neck he's pointing to.

hmmm the hose has the sticker still likes its been replaced recently. something smells fishy. drive it first and good, vary the rmps, put a load on the motor, turn the ac on and go around stop and go traffic. It can maybe tell u more than a bad hose...

forgot to add "sure" after make.

cheers.
