I’m doing the same repair with the hose being stretched a little will this be bad on my hoses or just get 5/8 heater hose and cut to length
@@mack606 the vehicle I did the repair on has been fine 1 year later so it should be fine
@@ERICSDIYGARAGEdoes the black T connector suppose to have an o ring in it the white one does but the black one doesn’t
@@mack606They have to have an O-ring on each one, because that is what seals against the metal heater nipples to get the seal.
@@jeffro221 thank you the black one had it as well
Thank for the vid! glad its still up after 6 yrs! Did it myself! replaced both connectors! cost me 25 each at the auto parts store! Mechanics had quoted me between 500-550 for them to replace!! sheeeeeesh i aint paying that took me 50 bucks and about an hr of work to get it done! haha! saved myself soooooo much money! thanks again!
Dude, this is awesome. I'm currently sitting in my tahoe after just the end of the nob to the hose broke off. My part actually looks like it'd already an aftermarket part as it's just a nipple, not a weird connector. I took the broken nub out of the pipe, was able to snake hose back onto remaining part over that ridge that you show and tighten clamp. As soon as engine is cold I'll fill with antifreeze and test pressure. You video helped me by basically showing me if I connect to what is left of that nozzle I should be good to go long enough to buy a new part. You rock.
Glad to help and happy you made it work
Just want to say thanks for this vid. It saved me about 250 at the shop. I managed to get parts plus fluid that leaked out when it broke for about $55.
I spend exactly $55 as well lol
What's the part number
Thank you for your tips. It makes sense. The extra fittings seems like for convenience only when the T-body connector part is as much vulnerable to break anyway. 😊
Personally, based on my experience. The outlet heater hose is probably easiest to just replace the whole hose assembly vs just replacing the T and trying to remove the fitting. The fitting was nearly impossible to break apart in my 2013, so i cut the hose just below the black plastic hose clamp and losing an inch of hose put a bunch of tension on the outlet hose assembly. Im going to add a coupling somewhere halfway through the hose to relieve the tension so it'll still work out ok. But thats just my experience.
The inlet hose worked without issue, though. Which is the T that broke on me anyways. I really appreciate the tip, you saved my a*s at 7 pm when i still had more errands to run and it was Saturday night.
Thanks for the video, and God bless you!
I have to try and do the motor mounts as well. Mine are loose now and I think that's what's tugging on the coolant hoses in the first place.
Excellent video man!
Thanks brother! I just experienced the same thing a couple days ago on my Yukon. Got stuck 30min from home, smoking coolant all over, engine overheated. 😞
I replaced the T-connector and removed the metal clamp off the hose and connected it directly. I plan to do the same to the white T-connector. What a crappy point of failure this was. This problem also caused a DTC P308 (cylinder 8 misfire) so I think the coil pack there got damaged by the hot coolant. But thanks again for the hose hack.
Yep I got the same situation
This just happened to me my engine over heated due to this problem hopefully no further damage was done finger crossed
Very nice. Super common issue on these cars. Good way to save future headaches.
Perfect video. Mine just snapped while driving home was looking for this exact fix thanks!
Thx u soo much !!!!! Out smarted 3 guys by doing this ! My car was broken down for 2 weeks got tired of waiting on them ! Sooo I did this my self I just need some one to comfort that it was safe! Thx soo much
Glad it helped
You are the man bro! You saved me! I changed the oil pressure sensor not fun but thanks to you I got it done, then I broke that putting the cover back on and you saved me twice! Much thanks!
Awesome glad to help out!
Omg I just did the same thing changing that damn sensor
I broke mine as well putting back intake cover back on from changing oil pressure sensor. Now I'm changing t value but broke tiny clip
@@ERICSDIYGARAGEHow do I Get the part number for the t.
Great tips! This just happened to my Tahoe.
Man, thank you so much. I was struggling with the so-called easy disconnects for like 30 minutes I pushed in squeezed and pull out and they came right out. Thanks man!
100% worked just tried it my connector broke appreciate you bro
Glad to help thank you for watching!
Awesome video, definitely helped. Exactly what I was going through.
Great video. Thanks for the walkthrough. I appreciate you putting this out there to help others. God bless you!
Thank you appreciate it!
Great video! You saved my ass. Thank you!
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE✅
Video helped me out a ton appreciate it bro
Glad to help out thank you!
worked like a charm 👍🏻
You are Awesome my man! God bless you!
Thank you!
Well, this caused the coolest smell inside the cab of the car
Whats the part number on bottom piece my hose is just barely fitting over the y piece
Bro cool hack. My Acdia T fittings busted then the quick connectors broke as-well while fixing the hoses SMH. I had enough hose to replaced the Quick connects by just cutting the hoses above the clamps that attach to the thermostat, but I'm going to break the other two clamps per your vid and replace the other two quick connectors. I know those are the only two old quick fittings that are left to replace. BTW I replaced my T fittings with metal and the quick connectors with Gates brand instead of the Dorman because they are noticeably thicker plastic. Lastly as a test run I tried breaking the clamps I cut off with the pliers and it was a no go so I ended up putting them in my Vice in order to smash them a few rounds to finally break them. I'm ordering the other two Gates from Amazon way cheaper than $20 bucks a pop from Oreilys. Again thanks for that hack didn't know that was possible👍🏻
Glad to help out and this way we get rid of the dumb quick connect fittings that always fail
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Agreed👍🏻 Autozone wanted $167 for just one hose insane 🤯. Thanks Again.
Honestly buying the original hose is worth the money I’ve had to replace two of those connectors because of that clamp Oem hose and connector to save you the money in the long run
I just stuck a bolt in the end of each hose & clamped em down.
I don't need a heater down here S of Houston.
Greàt Vid Bro i got to change mine it Bro While i was Traveling 💯💯💯
Nice!
Thank you!
Actually the white and black Tee fittings are different. You made two black ones work, which is fine. But they do come with a slightly different angles of the Tee, to accomodate the metal lines from the rear heater core that approach the Tee's from a different angle. Should use the correct Tee's in the correct position as that will lessen stress when you install the correct Tee in the correct position. The straight non-Tee quick connector like the pickups use are identical because they have no Tee coming off them and are interchangeable with each other, even though from the factory they may well still come white and black. Both heater core metal nippples are 3/4.
My truck started giving me the Traction error and check engine. Looked it up and it said it might be a spark plug or coil. Come to find out my coolant is leaking in that exact same spot and its dripping on the 8th spark plug. Im literally typing this while about to change the spark plug. Tomorrow im stopping to buy one of those connectors. Thank you 🙏🏼
Glad you caught it in time thank for watching!
I bought the hose replacement but it has nothing on the ends of it
I wish you would have showed the part when you were actually pushing them on is it easy to just push them on?
Just clips in
I just noticed that realistically you could use the same T fitting you already got on there and just get rid of the metal fitting on the heater hose and clamp it like you’re saying. I did replace my t fitting but it’s not necessary right? It had no damage to it.
Yes, technically, but they still get brittle over time, so it's good preventive maintenance
Yes, replace the fitting. My hoses are all good but the fitting is cracked. I'm about to replace it both of them actually.
car exploded coolant when i was at a light, $40 at cvs later i barely got home
Ey man, how's the stuff holding up? Any leaks yet? Need to replace the hoses on my 05 Tahoe, can I use the same solution on the thermostat-end? Don't know why they called them "Quickconnect", should've been "Quick-to-upset"
No issues
this is a bad dude doing this swap in a parking lot space lol
🫡
Bro, youre the man! Are the fittings the same for both hoses? My stock ones are different colors. One white one black. Thanks.
They are the same part
@@ERICSDIYGARAGENo, they are different. The white and black Tees have different angled branches to accomodate the fact that the rear heater has the lines coming up at slightly different angles.
@@jeffro221 I used the same part for both
@@ERICSDIYGARAGEYes, you made two of the same angle work. But the ideal way is to use the correct angle Tee because the rear lines approach up to the Tee's from slightly different angles, and that will lessen stress on the plastic Tee if the angle is as optimized as possible.
cant we ditch the quick connects an shove the rubber tube over heater core in an out?
The issue with that is that some vehicles have a t connection so you have three hoses merging into one so you're going to have to merge them somehow and you can't do that by just shaving in a piece of tube it would be more work in my opinion
Great video thanks for taking the time to do it!!
Thank you!
So replace booth tee fitting if one already messed up ? They like 21 each over here in WI
Replace both
I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe
What are the part numbers for the t’s?
Can you just connect them straight and use one of them tie rings? And not use the adapter??
No because it's like a y fitting with 3 ends
Do you have to use the white T connector or it don’t matter
The black and the white have the Tee coming off at slightly different angle to accomadate the metal lines that come off and go down to the rear heater core.
I replaced mine but it still leaks at the back of the Tee where it connects to the heater core. Idk what else to do?
Could be that the pipe is bent or something is not allowing the seal on the t to seal
Same here. Took it to my mechanic and he said I broke the pipe leading to the heater core
Thank you
Does the same fitting work for both hoses?
Yes
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE my 07 tahoe has a black fitting on the left and white on the right..
They're angled slightly differently if you have rear heating
I repaired the t and now every time I turn on the ac the check engine turns on😫😫😫😫😫
Dormant has a metal t connector with metal lines
They do, it's for the lower part of that heater hose where it connects to the thermostat and splits off to the reservoir. Somebody does make metal replacement fittings to the heater core, but only for models without rear heating sadly.
Where are you located?
Do I have to drain the coolant or bleed the system?
You need to drain a small amount only
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE so bleeding is not required?
@@Oxnard805 if you only remove a small amount you shouldn't have to
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Thank you so much
And two months later your plastic y fitting breaks so why not fix now???
Does it leak a lot when u take that off?
If it's hot yes
Thanks got mine’s working properly now thanks to you
Do they sell those T fittingsnin metal?
Yes I have them but need a metal disconnect.
How did u take out the aluminum part on the T
I used a pair of pair of pliers to squeeze the hose until it broke off
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE ok thank u
Where do you get the clamps from?
amzn.to/37A8tXH
They are from my Infiniti parts car any clamps will work though
Are both Ts the same ones
Yes
@@ERICSDIYGARAGE thank you sir
My heat is off and I feel heat in my car
Part #'s?
The link to the fittings I used are in the video description
Who can do this for me
Great idea by GM to make this parts plastic 😑
You can construct metal tees as well!
@@BlazeSEGA
Yea thats my plan.. i tired of being stranded by a 5 dollar plastic piece..
I got some silicone hose and aluminum pieces on ebay.. but haven't installed it yet..
Chevy parts are real crappy these days
Dont even show how you put the hoses back that was the whole point
It's common sense if you can figure it out, don't try fixing it simple
terrible advice use the quick disconnects
Yes and then have to replace them again in 6 months
