And that is a great (and convenient) place to run it to in these trucks, also the 67-72's, that have that nipple on the radiator tank. Even on the 100° + days here, the hottest I have seen mine get is 198°.

I think the TBSS has the steam hose running to a "T" into one of the heater hoses.

One thing that will alleviate any problems is to jack up the front of the truck while filing the cooling system to help prevent any air pockets from forming during filling.
