Is there a link to the part? This is exactly what’s leaking on my 99 gmc suburban. Just replaced the water pump and sprung a nice leak at the same place as yours. Thanks for this video man!
Here we are, Sept 2022, and this video just saved me from committing a felony on that damn truck! 99 Suburban, leaky connection - tried replacing the Oring to no avail, junk yards around here closed on the weekend, no luck finding replacement lines on Ebay or Amazon. THEN I find this video, and the sun started to shine a little bit brighter! I have 2 on hold at Autozone for tomorrow morning. Thanks Mr. Law Jones!!
Thanks for your words Mr. Shannon. I'm glad you didn't have to commit a felony of any sorts on your truck 😂😂. That was best solution to do for trucks like ours. And since I did it. I haven't had zero issues since.....
Thank you for posting this! My 97 GMC suburban just blew a heavy leak and I figured it was for the aux. heater, but I didn't know these were quick connects!
Ok... first of all this guy is my hero lol.... I've been wrestling with this for awhile now on my 99 suburban. Here's my saga. I broke off those little white clips because I didnt know how to get them off when I replaced the pipes that go up to the engine bay. I found out you can still buy the clips from doorman at O'reily's. So I hooked up my new pipes to the old connector with the new white clips and the thing is still leaking. I even used new o-rings so I don't now what I did wrong. Im about to lose my mind so I'm glad I found this video. I'm thinking about doing something similar.....but one question.. Why didn't you just clamp the hose to the metal part and just not use the new connector that you bought? I am thinking of doing that and running new hose all the way back to the metal tube that runs to the back and get rid of the front pieces of rubber altogether.
So I just had my cooling system flushed - I still don’t have heat for the rear of my suburban. No leaks. Do you think the rear hoses or core is plugged?
Hey Dennie, Thanks for reaching out. The rear heater core rarely plugs up on our trucks. And the heater hoses run along side of the frame on the passenger side. I would check out the actuator that separates the cold and hot air. That is gonna be on the right rear underneath the plastic cover.
The part is 800-404 but I ended up using 800-411 as my hose was still in good shape so I carefully removed both the old quick connect and the fitting on the hose. www.dormanproducts.com/p-10639-800-404.aspx
Thanks for the video. I have a 97 GMC with almost the same problem. My back connector is leaking. Bought the same part hope it works. Question, how does the old connector come off? Is there a special tool to disconnect it from the heater core? Thanks again.
No special tool was needed. You have squeeze those white tabs that secure it in place. I had to cut a little bit of the hose where the factory connector was at.
How would you go about taking the other side off, since it’s no release tabs? My 97 suburban has a hole in the hose around that area and I wanna want tofix that
Hey Antonio, Are referring to the other side that runs into metal lines away from the connector? If you like could you email a pic of it to lawjo1978@gmail.com
Depends on how much it's leaking. If it's pretty bad and you losing alot of coolant then I would replace it. But if it's a drip here and there you may have a little time.
All you had to do was go to a hose shop industrial shop take the two lines down take it to the place and they would make those lines up for you more than likely they would have made you some comfort hoses meaning lift Factory grade but above Factory grade jewelry hydraulic hoses Rachel got lot more hydraulic hose take alive lot more pressure but they've generally have better hosington Factory lines still waiting better made the ends up for you on brand new houses I personally do not trust those little screw bands or whatever they're called
You just saved my life. I been dealing with this on my 99 suburban. Thank you
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad I was able to help you out

Thank you so much. I’ve been pulling my hair out over this issue. Your video helped me understand what alternative method I could use!
No problem at all Matt. Merry Christmas to you and your family

Hey Tristan, Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad the was able to help out
What is the part number?You can't even see it
Thank you for this fantastic information
Thanks, I had been wondering about the right size for these to keep on hand for when it does finally go.
@archduke.... These has been trouble free ever since I bought them. No leaks at all

That may be my to do project should it give me any issues. Been over 6 months and no leaks
Ya man, thanks, I'm gonna do do this job this weekend. Gonna look at it, make a plan.
It wasn't a hard job at all to do. It's works and it's cost efficient....

Thank Mr Jones. I have a 2001 tahoe that the line snapped right after the crimp. Do you have the part number ? Thanks this will fix mine
I will have to find the original package that the part came in to get the part number. I got it from O'Reilly's auto parts
The part is 800-404 I'm pretty sure going to try it this weekend. www.dormanproducts.com/p-10639-800-404.aspx
Is there a good fix for the back of that line. That goes the the rear heater core?
Only fix for the rear heater core lines will either have some made at a hose supply company, finding some NOS (New Old Stock) ones
@@lawjo1978 could it just we a bad oring
@@leejaybrown660 That's very possible. If the o-rings are original they do shrink up over time
What's the part #
28502 at O'Reilly's auto parts
My 94 is leaking from the same place
Hopefully this video will help you out on the repair

@@lawjo1978 I just saw this, at work will do as soon as I get home, bc it’s not my connector I have holes in my hose
@Antonio Swanson Okay sounds good
@@lawjo1978 sent it
What if I don’t have a quick connection? How do I go about disconnecting that piece
What if I take the connector off and just run it straight through without connector
I never ran it like that to be honest. I think it wouldn't hurt to try it and see what happens
Yeah I did it lol no issues so far
@@antoinlewis3633 That's great to know good brother
@@antoinlewis3633 any issues sense you did this?
Can you continue to drive with it leaking from that spot
Depends on how much it's leaking. If it's pretty bad and you losing alot of coolant then I would replace it. But if it's a drip here and there you may have a little time.
What kind of engine on those 1500 ?
It was a 5.7 350 Vortec V8 but I've since swapped over an LS swap engine
