Gary Lewis Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I had someone ask me where to get a new '85/86 coolant/washer reservoir, and I couldn't find one at the normal places. Many say they have it but what they show in the pic is the 1980 - 84 unit where the hose goes in a hole in the top. But I thought someone on here posted that he'd recently bought one, and I cannot find the post. Help! Do you know where to find one? Do you know where that post is?

Machspeed Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Seems I saw that same post, Gary. Doesn't seem like it was all that long ago either. Didn't mark it as I was able to satisfactorily clean mine up. Would be nice to confirm that it available, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane - The one at Dennis Carpenter, shown below, appears to be the 1980-84 version where the hose goes in via the hole at the top. What that person is looking for is the 1985-86 version where the hose goes onto a fitting at the bottom. And yes, we have a page on them, and you can see the part number of E5TZ 17618-A, but I can't find one to purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the recent one you mentioned, I remember that, (for what that’s worth!), weren’t they able to clean up the one they had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger2662 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I installed one from a 87-96 F150. Had to a little adapting but looks and works good. Picked it up off of ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John cleaned his up. Not sure who else did. As for the later version, I put one of those in Big Blue since they are sealed at the top and I was losing coolant on the rough and steep Jeep roads. Fixed that problem. But it did take some adapting - especially since mine is on the passenger's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARIAT 85 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I installed one from a 87-96 F150. Had to a little adapting but looks and works good. Picked it up off of ebay. What sort of adapting did you have to do to make it fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
