2006 Columbia S60 14L. Yesterday I had a coolant hose burst. There are two 5/8 hoses that run from the back of the engine down to the bottom of the transmission. Luckily the failure occurred near where it connects to the transmission, so I was able to cut off the bad and splice in a new heater hose. However, what if one day I need to replace the whole length of hose? Does this mean I'll have to drop the transmission or is there a way to raise the cab high enough to gain access to the back of the engine? I could probably disconnect rear cab airbags and shocks, but what would be the pivot point on the front end and how high could I go before breaking something?
How do I gain access to back of series 60 engine?
