Great quick vid. I'm doing my 11 with 152k now. If anyone wants to do the $80 Motorcraft hose, contrary to want all the YTers note about a tool to remove the quick connects, that's not necessary. All you do is spray some silicon lube in the fitting then push and pull 5 or so times to get the lube going, then push down the connector and using your other hand squeeze the white pieces and pull the fitting. It will pull right off. I just did this today 5/18/22 at 9:30 PM wearing an LED headband light. Took 5 mins to free up the quick connects. Ford, what the Christ were you thinking only leaving 1" of heater core stub at the firewall???
Hi, the video has 6 yrs. , any follow-up update on this repair ?? , do you know if it lasted ?? or was there any trouble with this part because of Temperature or pressure ?? Please let us know. I just did it on my 2008 Ford Expedition Tee with 100 Kmiles, I would like to know if I can be relax or I would have to keep a very close eye on it, your reply will be greatly appreciated by everyone. Thanks !!
NOT accurate information in this video !! 😠, Mine is an Expedition EL 2008 5.4 L, the T of 3/4" × 3way is not correct, the end of the hoses is stretched (cause of the original Tee) so you would need a Tee labeled as 1 inch on the 3 ends, the 3/4 one goes in too loose and it will leak most surely very quickly. Going to Lowes to get a bronze one Pex of 1", if I can't find one like it in Auto Parts, which today there were none, so I am guessing will have to go with a Pex/Lowes one as other two videos and hope will work. You can not cut those ends because then your hoses will be short and the one going to the firewall has a restrictor inside so the space is extremely limited. Tips: if you don't want to drain coolant, not need to, but, -make sure car is cool overnight better, -don't open the reservoir it will cause coolant to flow from the thermostat one and you will have more coolant all over the place, - when you are dissambling the Tee, make sure to put good amount of towel underneath to pickup coolant and drain some on a little bowl., for the rest of the info here is good, make sure when you crush the end of the hoses to point downward and make sure you take out all that plastic crap, yes it is a piece of crap, use the pliers better faster & easier, using a dremel is risky you can cut something else. Will comment later if I accomplish the mission.
The 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 fit for my 2012 hoses. The 1 x 1 x 1 was too large to get the hoses over. FWIW. I'm ordering aftermarket replacements as I now no longer trust the remaining fittings...
I'm having the same issue of that T leaking coolant. How does the replacement hold up to the high heat? Is that something I need to worry about when buying a new one from the hardware store?
Sorry for the delayed reply but yes you need to be concerned about the heat. Brass T from hardware store would be the safest. I initially went with a black plastic heater hose T but it broke about a year later. I changed it with a clear poly T that has held up well.

Appreciate it 👍
So is that the the inlet heater hose?
Do you drain the coolant first?

Use a brass "T" from Home Depot look in the plumbing dept. and you don`t have to worry about heat or it breaking down get metal clamps also
👍👍
Did you remove coolant before fix?
No I didn’t but you will loose a little
I didn't and I lost very little
