- Replacing a heater Hose Quick Connect on a 1997 Chevy Tahoe. Works on 1995-1999 Models also Suburban, Silverado, GMC Yukon Heater Hose Assembly
Thanks for the very informative video my 1997 tahoe only blew the plastic locking peice and gasket so i only had to replace that part ❤ i love my truck
Thanks! Make sure you subscribe! Check out my other videos too lots of Tahoe stiff
I was fortunate enough to have a tool that helps release the quick connect.
I just had to make this repair a week and a half ago on my '99 Yukon. The O-ring was shot and finally the hose went. But here's the tip (forgive me as I don't know all the part names)....this is what my mechanic buddy did. When we took the hose off the retaining clip just fell apart. Instead of buying the whole plastic part, we decided to take the metal part out of the engine (the one you pointed out at the beginning ). Then we went to home Depot and walked to the plumbing section. We bout three pieces. A double end threaded connector to screw into the engine. A size reducer and a connected that has the barbed end (like on garden hose end replacements). This not only fixed the leak, but there's no need for the plastic piece anymore either. The parts came to just under $15 Canadian and I'll probably never have to replace those parts. We did reuse the Dorman clamps. We didn't use hose clamps.
I'd love to send pics of what we did if I could lol.
Thanks for the tip! This houe does seem to go bad about every 60,000 miles. It takes a lot of heat and pressure. Hopefully your Jerry rig will hold. Part was only $60. To me it's the time spent not the money saved . -cheers
Just blew the retaining clip in my 97 burban thought I needed a whole new hose but turns out just the clip !
That's good to hear... It's not too easy to replace as you can see lol please subscribe
Ihave had my 1999 Suburban for 20 years, it has 194,000 miles. I have never replaced the heater hoses. I have replaced the top and bottom hoses 10 years ago. In January 2024 I replaced the radiator.
I think I had a bad cooked mechanic who replaced factory hoses with cheap ones just a theory
I'm about to go to hardware and delete all that quick disconnect crap on my 99 suburban.
I did mine the same way, took the aur filer off too. My truck got so hot it was jetting out a small pin hole from the hose lol looked like the truck was on fire, cept for that sweet sweet coolant smell
Glad u got it fixed please subscribe 😄!
Also the o rings you had to take off my where destroyed so I had a fun run around for that one.
Did NOT show inserting the new hose into the manifold end that was hard to remove? Most imprtant part including the rubber washer that did not come with the replacemet hose?
well its pretty hard to do while filming sorry...t its pretty simple to install , removall was hard here may be other videos on this, my video was just making people aware of the issue
I had to use a small screw driver to take the clamp out. Was definitely a pain
@drews quick fixes
What happens if the aluminum piece breaks
I got a 97 Chevy 1500 and mine broke off
@@LBC_RIDER you probably need to use a single blade hacks saw and cut it off. I had a. Mechanic do it the last time it was about 2 hours labor. If you get any metall in the coolant. It can ruin the engine be careful
You dont have to buy that expensive hose replace the quick connect fitting with a barbed brass fitting and use regular hose and clamp
Yes this is true. Thanks for watching and commenting please subscribe!
The aluminum nozzle on mine won't go in. It seems you just skipped over putting it in so it's hard to compare. I think mine was "hacked".
I thought mine was messed with two you just really have to pull the plastic pinches and twisted left-to-right and it should come right out good luck thanks for watching I'm sorry I did have to do some editing because I struggled with it as well although it is possible you got the wrong size from the auto store where they Austin can make mistakes
I want to ask why don't you fix the hood hinges? Your using a stick and bricks under each hinge???
Because its a huge pain to fix the hinges lol and I'm going to sell the truck soon as is. :)
I got a 1999 Chevy suburban and it has a small block 350
Nice Grayson thanks for watching please subscribe I have a lot of videos that are about my Tahoe and they may help you there's a whole playlist on Tahoe also make sure you click the bell for notifications when I post a new video
i have 2 gaskets on mine, 1 rubber, 1 plastic. Im only seeing 1 gasket in this video, im confused
Mine had been previously worked on by a technician years ago it's possible he didn't. Out the other gasket back and that's why itt had issues again. Please subscribe and update us if you know why
I got 237k miles on my Honda civic. The engine isn't as strong, but it will do for now. In the not so distant future, gas powered cars will not be sold in California, anymore.
I'm sure the electrical grid is going to have problems in 10 years in California unless all the charging is done with solar panels my family now has four electric cars it can be difficult sometimes to find a charger here in North Carolina some of them are free some of them you have to pay if you just plug in the car to regular outlet it can take up to 24 hours to charge fully I didn't realize that at first so a lot of people just go to work come home then charge their car again if you're going at a large Roadtrip it can be challenging
@@drewsquickfix I have no family or relatives with an electric car. Gov. Newsome is trippin'.
We have a homeless crisis here and Todd Gloria, the mayor, haven't done much to fix it.
Newsome is commenting that he welcomes illegal migrants trying to cross the border to seek refuge, so more migrants cross illegally.
I do think we are going to have an economic recession soon.
You dealt with this 3 times and are still sticking with this poor GM "quick connector" design that leaves you vulnerable to plastic, plus the expense of buying that factory hose with the crimped on aluminum nipple???? Just do like a previous commenter did and dump that junk next time, and get a correct size brass fitting that will screw right into the manifold and has either a smooth or barbed nipple sticking up for a standard hose. Then you can use standard bulk heater hose and hose clamp. Voila, now you have a setup that only requires very occasionally replacing the heater hose, which will be a lot cheaper and easier than messing with that junk "slow disconnector." You could even be creative and pick brass fittings that allow you to point it up at a 45 or 90 degree tilt and lengthen it a bit for easy hose clamp access. I have a '94 that I bought 8 years ago that had the original QD fitting, and in that year, the end that threads into the manifold is plastic, which was starting to crumble. I swapped it over as discussed and now I use simple bulk heater hose (no $50 factory hose) and this will last as long as the truck is on the road. I think GM did that to make assembly quick at the factory. Junk it!
I do like your heavy duty hood prop. :)
ilove this truck but the interior is deteriorating so i may sell it soon. hopefully before it fails again. good advice!!
All you need to do is take the air filter and housing off you do not need to take the hose off.
To change the heater hose, you most definitely take it off.
Thanks for watching please subscribe! Glad you got it done!
They are adamant you use dexcool so idk why you decided to use normal coolant.... That's like using normal oil in an aluminum engine that requires synthetic. It's chemistry not marketing.
@mybotteee Dexcool destroyed my radiator and several of my engine parts that's why I stopped using it it's overpriced and not worth it for the higher cooling point they say it has my trucks been running fine since I flushed it out there's actually a lawsuit about it causing corrosion. It also causes a orange rust color around all the hoses and metal fittings normal coolant doesn't do that. Once you have a league and all the fluid is drained out you can put in whatever kind of coolant you want Thanks for watching and commenting
