Is there any way to change this metal hose coming from the top left of the water pump without taking the water pump off again?

Cut if off by the bottom of it and use a deep well then replace it with a barb fitting and some longer hose.

Or take the water pump off.

Don't really wanna cut it off since its only like 3 weeks old. But then again I dot wanna redo the water pump either. Could you pull the valve cover and then untwist it? It's leaking a little bit from around where it screws into the WP.

You could probably get at it if you pull the valve cover and upper rad hose from the thermostat housing. But, that's alota work for that unless your valve cover is already leaking

Did you see the reply about your surge maybe being the a/c compressor kicking on and off?
X2 This is most likely your issue. Its not a problem unless your rpms are spiking so low to cause it to run rough. It is very common in the summer time for the AC to cycle on and off quite often.

Valve cover was replaced a month or so ago. Looks like I may be cutting it and getting a longer hose...

My opinion is if thst metal line is leaking and you cant get to it by any means then take the water pump back off, use thread tape and pull it all back together. Water pump job has gotten so easy after doing so many of them on this motor!

My rear speakers arent working after my cage install...

They are 4 ohm speakers and read 3.5 or so ohms across the terminal connections. I have continuity between the harness connections and the speakers. Sounds like there is an open between the head unit and the harness, right?

What brand head unit and what audio input are you using?

They'll wear out quickly, and the ride will be rougher.

Just checking. My Kenwood defaults to Front Speakers for Bluetooth whenever it loses power. I tend to forget about it.

Will work, and they're probably already worn out. You can use them til you get 2" lift shocks.
