On the weekend, whilst relaxing under the van :) I noticed a shiny
section of the heater hose right above the inverted U shaped bracket
that support the rear part of front diff. The heater hoses and rad
lines are bundled together with factory tie wraps but there was
enough movement in bundle to allow a portion of the heater hose to
rub on aforementioned bracket.

I cable tied a section of larger diameter vinyl hose to act as a
chaff strip and secured the hose bundle a bit better with more tie
wraps.

Just another thing too worry about :)

cheers
