2:38 FOR ANYONE wanting to get these damn connects off. Thank you sir so much. There are countless videos on KZfaq and your advice is bulletproof for these damn things. Reach back there and squeeze the tabs and the key is PUSH IN AND PULL OUT they come out very easy. I cannot appreciate enough this video. Plus thanks for the part numbers on these things. Man you’re a life saver. I drive an old bucket like this I’m always working on!!!

Thank you....I just blew the heater core hose....it cracked right at the crimp. I thought I was going have the truck towed to a garage to fix it. Your straight forward explanation of everything was spot on. I just disconnected everything in about 15 min in the rain. That last plastic manifold at the rear was a bear...but it came off. The larger hoses came off just by Squeezing the white plastic clips... The aluminium lines I needed to squeeze the clips with needle nose players and they gently came out. I'm Getting all new parts & hose tomorrow.....just a FYI..About 2wk ago I ask the dealership what it would cost to change all the hose & flush it..& put fresh coolant.The dealership want $865. I'm so happy I found ur video. Thanks again 👍....also my truck is an 2008 1500 4wd suburban LTZ. 5.3L FLEX

Thank you How To!!! My son was driving when the hose broke, scared him to death, the potential bill for the repair scared me more.

@onegurl9 2 жыл бұрын

Mine is leaking now, I bought the part online from seller JUSTAUTOZONE2007 and it arrived yesterday. I measured it against the old hose and it is a perfect fit. Shipping on EBAY for parts guarantees that the part will fit (or not fit) your vehicle. I've been buying parts online from eBay for years, I've never ever got a wrong part. As long as you have the correct information about your vehicle, every part is exact. The hose was $27.89 plus tax $1.95, so I paid $29.84, less than $30.00, compared to your $185.00 , such a big mark-up, such a big SAVINGS. I highly recommend shopping on eBay for all your parts needs. A savings of $155.00 is much needed in this day and time, for me anyway.

Great Video! My heater hose broke in the *same exact* place for my 07 Chevy Suburban. The best thing about this video was that he showed the part numbers. I had been searching on line and had gone to my local AutoZone/Advanced Auto and no one could seem to find the right part for the smaller hose that attached to the black T-connector. I searched the hose number he listed and found it in 30 seconds. I'm subscribed now.

Thanks for clearly showing what tabs to squeeze in for removal at 4:20 I could not tell if I needed to squeeze in the outer portion, or the inner portion which actually locks the fitting in place. Now I know it's the outer portion. It's still not easy when working on a 17 year old vehicle which has never had these previously removed.

Very good video. What works for me best, first remove with the big tabs at the very back first. The little tabs at the front can be difficult in letting go. If you have to break the clips that hold the tabs, your installing new ones anyways, just don't bend the metal tubing. I just did this job with all new hose, like you. Nice work on the video. You're helping people save a lot of money by doing it themselves.

I just had the exact same one break that you held up in the video. (Few hours ago) I was lucky enough to cut it off and hose clamp it onto the stub remaining and filled it up with coolant. But I had no idea what the part was. And now I found your video. You are extremely talented and it shows with your confidence and knowledge. 👍👍 Don't mean to sound too much of an ass kisser but when that damn thang broke I thought my fn truck was on fire 😂 I got out heading towards my fire extinguisher until I saw the liquid pouring out the passanger side area under the truck. Tried to explain what I was dealing with at AutoZone but I forgot to take a picture because it was kind of like a flash bomb going off 😂 when you're driving. So anyways bud, I've saved the video and I'm beyond happy with the knowledge I just received from you and can give it a much better go at it in the morning. Also.... Was having such a wonderful day. I was on my way to my first job as my company just started up and was pulling the trailer that I just redid and had a nice clean truck... Everything was going great until that damn bomb went off. 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm going to sleep now feeling so much darn better. (Midnight in Alaska) Best wishes to ya bud! 👍 Sorry for the long story....maybe you'll have a laugh at my expense.

Brian, excellent how to. I love my GMvehicles but honestly some of their engineering is not user friendly. The quick disconnect fittings are certainly not quick. The fitting for draining the radiator is a disaster trying to get to and utilize. It's easier to just drain the radiator by removing the lower hose on the opposite side of the radiator. Regardless, you have done an outstanding video, thanks.

Thanks Brian, looks like you hit the spot on how to approach the most recent problem in my life. But, say, I'm wondering if there is any issue with replacing only the hose connector that broke, and not both segments? I have a 2007 Tahoe 5.3L, the black connector suddenly snapped, fortunately just prior to pulling into my driveway. Also, from your presentation there is a discrepancy with the lower attachments, on my vehicle, the left black connected hose feeds to the lower front inlet. Thank you. CTC

10/10 on the instructions! Wish I had the extra tools but was able to take the bottom of the hose off with a sharp enough knife. That process took the most time of the process’s Seems this was only the fix for a reaction and not the original cause. Engine temp is still out of normal. Any suggestions? Maybe the thermostat caused the original problem?

@1ThomasBug 2 жыл бұрын

Brian, what kind of work platform were you using to access the connections from the front of the vehicle? It looks as though it was some kind of device that allows you to lean forward over the front of the vehicle and pull the hoses straight forward, rather than trying to work from over the right fender. I have an old elevated platform called a Topside Creeper that will be forced into action this afternoon. I was hoping to have just a 30 minute of less encounter like some of the lucky commenters, but that didn't happen. I agree with the other commenters: best description and video showing how the plastic locking tabs actually work, and how to get them to release. Kudos to you. DGBryan

This seems to be EXACTLY the problem w/my 2009 Tahoe. Same hose, same break. It looks a little more complicated than I was led to believe. Questions: I am extremely budget limited, and this is my only vehicle, so time is important as well. Also, my Tahoe while dependable and maintained in a timely manner, is a rebuild, so I am okay w/NOT GM manufacture parts, as in this case, the cheaper but dependable method/parts are best. I am not clear on why both hoses needed to be disconnected from the motor, while only one is broke off from the connection at firewall? Any help as to the necessities vs extras of this job video, I am so thankful!

@user-ev4pb9xj7e 10 ай бұрын

Those plastic fittings get brittle over time going through numerous heat cycles causing the “O” rings to leak. Since this is not a real pleasant job most people find it cheaper in the long run to just replace both, with GM parts to assure proper fit, and to save on expensive antifreeze. However, you can go the cheaper route and pay a repair shop $500 for a piece of rubber hose and 2 clamps, and still have a leak !!! That’s what I did, but I assure you that will never happen again !!! I got the GM replacement parts and did the job right for half that myself.

Thank you very much. I got the new white fitting on, and getting a small drip, from what looks like the non heater core metal connection point... any ideas?

Started truck let it idle coolant did not drop had to shut it off let it sit about 5 minutes opened the cap and coolant was sucked down only worked twice hasn’t worked since would this be a sign of a bad thermostat? Both top and bottom hoses are hot

The affiliate link for the straight hose is very different than the one you have from GM. It looks like that one is just hose, but it doesn't have the metal piece on the one end. I'm confused. Do you need to add your own connector to make that work?

Only the the hose with the black fitting broke just like in the video. Do both black and white fitting plus both hoses need to be replaced?

What was the genuine GM part number for the second hose? It wasn't shown in the video. Thanks

Would it be better to change the thermostat as well?

I just bought a 2004 Cadillac Escalade with the 6.0 and it’s leaking coolant from somewhere and I can’t find it. No wet spots on the floor. Would replacing these hoses help? the water pump was replaced but still it leaks. Also it only smell like coolant outside the truck. The smell comes from the water pump, thermostat side of the engine only

Thanks for sharing this awesome and well explain video but i got a question i just did mine today and now i see vapor coming out my vents and a lot smell of coolant? Do you know why or what should I do?

It’s possible the heater core is leaking or just some cool got during the repair or if the hose broke. And it should burn off in a while
