2:38 FOR ANYONE wanting to get these damn connects off. Thank you sir so much. There are countless videos on CZcams 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
$865.00 WOW! What a rip off. I cannot believe the prices out there. That's an incredible price.
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. Your video was spot on - i was able to buy parts from GM dealer for $185 and do the repaid myself, thanks (bet you saved me at least $500 -$600 (maybe or more)! I will be coming back for more how to's?!
Mine just broke today. Exactly the same. Now can't find all the pieces in my area. Shipping isn't until after Xmas.
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.
Great video sir. No BS and wasted time, great explanations. Show all part numbers and procedures. Really helping me out. I am subscribed.
John H thank you!!
I couldn't agree more! Very helpful video!

If a fitting can be over-engineered, leave it to GM to do just that. One should not have to have a video to show how to replace a heater hose. Good video tho'.
@@smackdown134 well. I MAY have to disagree! As a 55 yr old single female who's butt is broke, it was extremely helpful! A good start for me!
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.
Isn't that the truth. GM really makes a great vehicle.
Brian,
This how to video is just perfect. anyone who is somewhat mechanically inclined can do this job. I’m no mechanic.. took me about an hour, very satisfying and worry free with help from your video. Even part ordering was simple. Subscribed. Thank you !
Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
We have a 2007 Tahoe 5.3. This is the best video i've seen for this problem. Your explanation is clear as a bell, and I appreciate it!
Thank you!
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.
Great job brother. I had a leak in both my hoses followed your video and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much. It’s always good to see people taking their time to share their knowledge. I appreciate it so much..
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.
I’m glad your truck is back on the road. I don’t mean this part stores it can be tough explaining parts. Thank you for watching!
@@HowtoAutomotive Thanks bud, was an adrenaline rush for sure. 😂
They come in different ways now that I'm 45 years old. Lol. Was thinking time and $$$ but feel good about it now. Thanks again for making those videos!
Have a good day
Best video I've seen on how to get this job done!👍🏼
Stationed in S Korea where Tahoes are not the norm. This video saved my day in showing me what part to order online. Thank You
Very informative. I’ve been fighting with my Yukon for two hours now, trying to figure these fittings out (multiple beer break of course). Now I know what to do...thank you.
Bill Ray glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and have a beer for me 😎
Thanks for the video. Was done in 10 minutes using my fingers to pinch the clip and pull it off. Appreciate it as I thought I needed a tool I didn't have to get the job done.
Great video, love the extra explanations and walking us through the various steps. Exactly what I look for in a great "how-to" video. Thanks!!
Excellent video. Looking forward to doing the job first thing in the morning. You made it look easy and that’s what Pros do. Thanks you saved me some money.
thank you super easy straight to the point no non sense talk watch you drive to work all that bs like other how to channels thanks again!
Great job,very informative,made it easy to replace all those hoses and fittings on my 2007 GMC Sierra pick up,thanks a bunch!
mandoblues glad to help. Thank you for writing and watching!
Perfect, your view of the label with the part number saved me. All the parts fit our 2007 2500 Suburban! Thank you!
the best .straight forward explanations. thank you
Just finished replacing both heater hoses and T connectors. Great video helped me out a lot! I tried squeezing the clips but the connector wouldn't release. After an hour of fighting with them i eventually broke the tabs which then made pop out easily. Glad I'm done with the repair. Cheers
Glad it all worked out. Thank you for watching!
Thanks man. Help me a lot with my repair today
Thanks gentlemen for CZcams demo. Didn't turn out to be a CF. Things actually went smoother than anticipated.
Richard M Glad everything went smooth. Thank you for watching!
Bro amazing video foreal very very helpful video was able to do it myself without having to pay a mechanic not a penny thank you for your help
your examples are spot on!
Thank you. My 2007 just broke the same connector this morning. I hope the Dorman replacement parts are decent.
Good straight forward to the point
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Mate... showing how the hoses connectors worked help out tremendously..
Lone Star Mini Glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you, thank you! you saved me so much time and money. WOW!
Super video
I had to take the one plastic ring off my old one (the one that faces forward) to complete the job
Thanks a million brother
aaron thomas glad to help. Thank you for watching!
great video dude thanks i had that problem with my suburban 08 my mechanic was replacing some spark plugs he was sititng on the engine to reach down there to one of them leaning against the one with the black fitting and cracked the hose , long story short my wife on her way to work noticed smoke coming out of engine, then also on her way back home also truck overheated so i checked and the hose with the black fitting had snapped out of place so it seems like it was cracked and finally burst on her way back home thats why the smoke. thanks for being clear on the parts to order.
This exact same thing happened to my 2008 Yukon today. Yay. Thanks for the vid.
Great video, easy to follow.
Thank you, I have the same issue with my 07 Tahoe. Wasn’t sure how to fix the problem.
Thanks i followed your instructions and did it in 30 minutes
They tried to charge me $770 parts and labor to do this. Doing it myself. This saved me some good money.
Great video... straight forward fix
Thanks, makes sense of this job!!
Thanks man you help me solve the problem you made it very simple
Skyhook glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
Hi thanks for the informative video I have the same issue but only smaller hose should I replace both?
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?
thanks bro i was going to take it in you saved me a butt load!!!! SUB
MeChan Mao-Ward thank you for the Sub!! That’s what this channel is all about helping people keep their cars on the road and save some money at the same time.
Great video bro!
So detailed. Straight to the point.
Thank You!!
Thank you!
Great video. Keep up the good work
Man I did this myself watching your video didnt have the pick tool to get under the hose and boy that sucker was hard to remove but I got it off and put everything in and good as new !
Sideswipe713 glad it all worked out. Thank you for watching!
Thank you!! You helped me save money fixing my truck took a minute with the clips 😩 but in did everything you said and runs great...please do one of the front heater not blowing hot or cold air please.
Ps. All for 80 bucks lol 👍🏽😁
If one comes in the shop for that symptom I can do a video. Usually they’re a little motors in the dash to go bad. They are called blend air door actuators
Great video thank you, my straight hose snapped today same spot.
Do you remember the part number for that? I wanna get it from gm and I this video doesn't show the PN nor does the link. Any help will be appreciated 🙏
@@ChristianGarcia-in6qj Dorman Part 626654 snagged it off Rockauto for $20, then paid $58 for next day delivery because I had to haha it was faster than any auto part store near me. Hope it helps!!!
Thanks for the video, saved me time and knuckles
Muy buen video y muchísimas gracias 😊
Great video i was able to do mine in 30 minutes thanks
Victor Flores Awesome glad it all worked out. Thank you for watching!

Glad you like the video. Thank you for watching!
Great job and description....you are the man
Thank you!
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?
very informative, thank you
Great video.
6ringsjc thank you!
Thank you sir I am definitely going to sub and hit your website thanks again I learned something today your awesome my guy!!!
Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked the Contin. Thank you for watching!
Thank you, really appreciate! 👌🏾
Thanks for the good info keep up the good work
Hey my heater hoses just broke off today , can I just replace that part or do I have to replace the T as well
need the part # for the last hose couldn't get a match with what you showed me
Would you happen to know if those part numbers for the tees and heater hoses would be the same on a 2009 cadillac escalade?
Very good job on your video you You didn't play any dumb music show what you're eating for lunch. Video was very informative thank you
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.
I agree they could’ve done a better job with these hoses. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the video
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
claire trebaol-clark ever replace that hose? If so, were you able just to replace the one that was broke? I’m having the same issue.
@@natenoskill1976 yes, I was able to replace just the left hose fastener... cut the factory clamp device off, losing about 1.25 inch, still enough to go on the fitting with a ring clamp. Only needed the distal piece, although did not realize until had the entire y-shape fitting off ( very difficult, had to break it off ).
claire trebaol-clark great thanks! Yes I had to break the T fitting off as well. Horrible design
Why did u change both?
hi! I have an 08 Tahoe. And I have the same problem. I want to be sure if the number of parts that you show are for my truck? thanks.
Great video, straight to the point and left no question unanswered...Outstanding
Perfect thank you sir
Same exact break happened today. If I plug the hose can it be driven until the parts come in???? Thank you
Thank you for your help your awesome.
Cesar Lugo glad to help. Thank you for watching!
the 2nd hose you connected, where did you get that from because the part you linked isnt the same. Im looking for one with the quick disconnect attached already
Great video!!
I just did this job last night on my 2001 Suburban.
Not one of the tabs would release. Bought 4 tools that parts store had... not one worked. Spent 2 1/2 hours carefully chiseling off the old parts.
What a crap design!!!
Any tips for when the clips don't want to release?
Thanks in advance.
Hello, I was very interested in your video. My yukon broke those connectors twice and I don't know what to do.
What size hose assembly removal tool do you use for 08 avalanche?
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
If you have a topside creeper, you have already won half the battle and are very lucky. !!! Also video editing is a great thing, nothing goes a smoothly as the video depicts, all the cursing and tool throwing is usually edited out😂 but this video is the best I’ve found in correctly replacing these hoses and fittings.
Great video
Awesome awesome how to video.. thank you so much!!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks man for your video I just fix my shit 👍🏻💯
Good video. An important take away I got from this video is that the white & black tees are different sizes. I did this job a week ago & it leaks. I used Dorman tees bought at Advance Auto & was sold 2 white tees that are the SAME part #. I put a white tee where the black one goes & the aluminum line leaks now. Going to GM tomorrow
Some one at advanced don’t know what they are doing they have two diff ones
That’s why you go with factory replacement parts, the people at these part stores are there to just sell parts ( right or wrong😂). This is not a pleasant job and especially not fun if you have to do it twice !!!!
I did this in a 06 escalate still leaks on the tee fitting any other alternative?
How much coolant does it take to refill it when replaced.
Thanks dude
awesome! right on time. i just had a hose break. do i need the t? or can i just get something to connect it back to the original t?
DONNIE WHITE I would get the tea. It could break just as easy to see other portion of it.
DONNIE WHITE there links in the description for the parts.
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
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?
Might be a dumb question but I see one black connector and one white connector is that because of a particular reasn
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD VIDEO
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
Ohh ok thanks I will check for a leak
heard that you need pincher type clamps at least on the water pump. Cold/Hot temp messes with the tightness of screw clamps.
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?
Did you have to clean the ends of the aluminum tubes with any solvent/brake cleaner and put anything on the ends of the tubes (i.e. grease, soapy water) before installing the tee connectors?
It would not hurt to clean it with some brake cleaner on a rag. Silicone grease may help the new tee go on easier .
Does the black T connector suppose to have a o ring in it the white does but not the black one
Is it possible to just replace the hose that was broken? Or just that T?
What was the genuine GM part number for the second hose? It wasn't shown in the video. Thanks
Sir, black hose rip. I need to replace both , or just the bad one ?
Do you have link for parts
