It appears that the 07 cooling system has been updated compared to the 05-06 cars. My 07 only has one hose coming off of the coolant crossover that goes between the heads. I have one hose coming off of the drivers side and the thermostat has been relocated from the 05-06 location in the hose junction up to the coolant crossover between the heads. I have searched arround on google for some pics of how the 05-06 cars ran their hoses and which direction the coolant is circulated, but I can get a clear picture of what the setup is.

On the 05-06 cars there are two hoses coming off of the coolant crossover one either side of the alternator. Where do they go? I would assume one goes to the upper inlet of the radiator???? Where does the other one go? Do they join?

On the 07 the water pump is feeding the system into the RH side of the crossover. Where does it do it on the 05-06 models.

Can someone snap a pic of the hoses and the routing on their 05-06 for me to take a look at? Maybe a shot taken from the side of the car looking across the motor to see where each hose goes and how the system is working?

I have my car apart right now and I am moving the pressurized overflow tank and re-routing some of the coolant lines and replacing them with silicone hose. I wanted an idea of how the older system was set up just as a reference.

If I had a 05-06 to pop the hood on this would be easy, but I don't know anyone who has one by me for me to take a gander at.

thanks!

Ok, how about this. I have dug up every picture I could find of 05-06 GT's and I think I have it figured out.

Can someone with an 05-06 GT confirm one thing for me. I assume that the cooling system is drawing water through the bottom radiator hose, pushing it through the motor and then it exits the two radiator hoses that come out of either side of the alternator. One going to the top of the rad and the other to the hose junction where the thermostat is located?

This of course sounds logical, why would Ford pull cold water from the top of the radiator and pump it into the bottom? It wouldn't make any sense, but that doesn't mean it aint so

So I guess the short question is:

On 05-06 GT's does the coolant run from the top down or the other way arround?

Hello,

Did you get the answer you were looking for? I have the same question... I am in the middle of a Saleen supercharger install but they shipped me a coolant crossover assembly with two outlets but my car only has one.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
