Chevy Traverse 2014 repair broken Heater hose

Dealing with quick connect plastic heater hose connections and how I decided to go a different direction part to replace cost $135. I spent about $25.00 on the heater hose and hose clamps. Saved enough to change filters on car and still only be $75.00 in it once completed.

Thanks for checking out the video

If you can’t get the hose over the lip on the bottom, put a little oil to lube the inside of hose and metal lip then heat up the hose with a heat gun then push it down, it makes it so much easier fyi. Thanks for this video and giving size of hose it helped a lot.

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Cool thanks for the tips!

I have a 2020 with 47,000 on it, coolant is slowly leaking but can't see a leak, the system was pressure tested and it held the pressure....any ideas?

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Thermostat not working properly? Or burning antifreeze. That’s about the best I can come up with. Good luck on your repairs!!

[@jackpinekid1]

Maybe a small coolant leak dripping on the engine and evaporating?....I'll let you know how it turns out........thx@@ProductiveLiving20

[@ProductiveLiving20]

Yeah but I would think it wouldn’t pass a pressure test if it was leaking somewhere. Maybe do a hot and cold pressure test?

[@jackpinekid1]

Taking it to the dealer on Wednesday (hoping it's under warranty), a diesel mechanic I know glanced at it and says he is sure the heater core is bad.....I wouldn't let him touch it@@ProductiveLiving20

[@jackpinekid1]

Dealer diagnosed it as a bad heater core@@ProductiveLiving20

Why was your check engine light on? Did you find out? Mines came on also

[@ProductiveLiving20]

My check engine light stays on. It has something to do with the way the engine runs on mine. But last time I had it checked it had something to do with emissions.
