Video

Thank you 🙏🏼

65 yr old female, gonna give it a try! I’ll let you know!

Beats removing the dash. I was expecting to, but dang. Pops off. Easy enough.

Awesome video.

Is it the same for the one on the left?

man thank you so much ❤❤

Short and to the point! Perfect video. Thanks

What about if u don't use conector and just push the hose in and clamped tight?

Dude you are hilarious and extremely helpful !! Good to see people still have a since of humor… me and my wife laughed uncontrollably with the very first line… “ohhh noooo” we have a gay friend and that was him all day…. He is dead now but we def needed the laugh thank you brother !!

On LS engines when we do a the Gagetman Groove throttle body mod (a simple groove cut behind the throttle body) we always have to wrap the headers up to the cat because the engine runs a lot cooler. On modern engines, the post cat O2 sensor reads the temperature of the exhaust and if it cooler (often because of improvements in combustion efficiency) the ecu will assume you are running too lean and dump more fuel into the engine. Try wrapping your exhaust up to the cat before you abandon this project.

The O2 sensor after the cat will detect that your engine is running cooler. Thus, it sends a signal to your ECU that interprets that you are running rich. Try wrapping your headers and exhaust pipe up to the cat. This will keep the heat in the pipe and the computer may allow you to get better fuel economy. (Cheaper than expensive ceramic coatings). This trick was introduced to me over at the Gagetman Groove forum.

I was about to rip apart the dash

Mine broke off too thanks for the video. Good job easy fix thats reassuring.

My God, here I was almost thinking that the heater core was going to have to come out on my 5.3 L. Silverado 2000 with this exact problem?! So those connections that are taken off are they available at a parts store such as AutoZone? THANK YOU!

What a stupid design

On fuel injected vehicles you would have to run an aftermarket ecu that would allow fuel injection trim to be remapped based on the temperature of fuel being injected. If you leave stock ecu tune then it wont do anything since ecu is having injectors open and close at a pre determined intervals regardless of how flammable the fuel is and by warming it up you're probably increasing the fuel pressure going into the intake so would burn a bit more fuel without the re-map. You can get engine nice and hot then take it to a dyno and lean out the fuel until you start seeing problems and it should be able to lean out quite a bit but then car will run poor on startup when vehicle is cold unless you wire in a sensor to monitor hot side of fuel heater and imput those readings back into the loop to properly adjust fuel trim

Thanks a bunch brother👍👍

👍

Appropriate the humor. Very helpful vid thanks!

Thanks brother but mine is like yours the quick connect broke but I need to know how to use the tool I'm thinking I'll have to completely separate the little plastic quick disconnect tool in order to get the disconnect thing upon the thing(the old heater quick disconnect) sticking out of my truck . I'll let you know how it goes .

Thanks watches the video got it fixed within a hour.

Just a bit of silicone spray, not oil, grease or mineral oil, that deteriorates the o ring. Will help the fitting slide on. And put the hose onto the fitting before sliding it on the heater core tubes will be much easier.

The reason why it doesn't work is because the computer is trying to over compensate for the change in leaner emissions!! Put an o2 sensor spacer distancer on both before cat on both side manifold! Then one after catalytic converter and it will work!!

Redneck car wash I love it 🤙

I used 2 different tools and never got it to go inside the connector. I never got it off and gave up. Mine was a 2013 Duramax though- way less room to work.

Great job you did with this video couldn’t have done it without it HOMESLICE 🙏🏾 Tykindly my lord 🙏🏾

My left line is leaking, the right one is not. Do you recommend that I replace them both at the same time for good measure or leave the right one alone?

I so happened to remove mine. One came off pretty easily with either a plastic one like shown in the video or a long metal one that came with the same kit. However, the other one was giving me a fit until I got one from Advance Auto Parts that looked similar to the white plastic part, but was made out of metal. It's 3/4", probably made of aluminum but has a copper colored finish. I felt that it was well worth the investment. Also, the acces is tight and can be a bit difficult to reash as well, making it a bit difficult to gain access with a larger tool and the plastic one that I used didn't have a nice spring action to help keep it close and made it easier to accidentally drop while attempting to fit it around the connector.

Thanks for sharing my man

Where is part 2

Easier said than done lol but then again im working on it so probably a user error

How did you get the little white piece on the back part of it

Hello son How are you son Why not connect the hose directly to the heater instead of this piece of plastic that often breaks ؟

This video helped me out very much. Thank you!

Mine just broke…as I was idling at a light. Thanks for this video

So is it the same part for the connection on the left side? For the rear one too are they the same?

Curious why it didn’t work? Wanted to try it on my 07 Silverado v8 but losing hope after this video. Cammed so mpg is trash but it sounds good

This is exactly what I needed thank you! I'm coming home from work tonight, stopping for 20 minutes every mile to cool it down. It's after hours so I can't get the parts right now. This 30 minute drive has taken me 3 hours so far and I still have a couple miles to go. Glad I found this during one of my breaks.

Can’t get any of those to fit behind in order to remove the radiator connector, next to the heater hose

Is the truck detailed weekly

Thanks man this really helped me

Bro this happens to me this morning after dropping of my boy from school! Thanks man easy peasy

Thy..big help

Thank you

thank you saved me time and money

I am so glad I found your video. I've been without heat in my 2002 Avalanche for almost 2 years because I was quoted $900 to change out my heater core, or I completely remove the dash myself and change it out. After I saw this, I had heat in less than 10 minutes. Thank you!

Thanks bro

Thanks!
