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!
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.
This happened to me, so I just bypassed the heater core so I could get home. Instead of having two lines into the heater core just run one line to each other.
@@briangravel3231 I realized that move literally 10 minutes before I got home and still feel dumb about not thinking of it sooner, haha
I just drove 3.5hrs. As soon as i parked the hose on the passenger side broke. I used a pepsi can as a line tool and just hose clamped the hose right onto the heater core metal pipe. Drove 3.5hrs back home, with my reverse camera under the hood watching the hose. No leaks!
I fixed mine with a turkey baster, no lie.
I like the camera under the hood idea to watch it. Mine broke while driving so I looped the hoses together using a ½ inch socket as a connecter and 2 hose clamps to hold it together. I like to read about other people's quick fix ideas to get them moving again. I knew there was a reason I always drink Pepsi from a can😂
What a story lol thanks for sharing
I work for a utility company and the hose started leaking in my work truck as it's getting freezing cold, so I took some water service tubing and redneck engineered it to at least get it so I can drive without hugging the wheel😂
I’m on the side of the road this video just saved me thanks bro
Thank you so much. This is the video I was looking for!
Awesome. Just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!
Short and to the point!
Perfect video.
Thanks
This video helped me out very much. Thank you!
Bro this happens to me this morning after dropping of my boy from school! Thanks man easy peasy
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.
Thank you have not been able to find anything about these yet Now I don’t have to keep buying coolant every month
Mine broke off too thanks for the video. Good job easy fix thats reassuring.
Thanks man this really helped me
Hey Buddy! Thanks for the video. I changed mine on my 05 Avalanche today. You saved me some cash! Thanks brother!
Great job you did with this video couldn’t have done it without it HOMESLICE 🙏🏾
Tykindly my lord 🙏🏾
Same problem I have thanks for the vid
Thanks for sharing my man
Mine just broke…as I was idling at a light. Thanks for this video

Beats removing the dash. I was expecting to, but dang. Pops off. Easy enough.
Thanks a bunch brother👍👍
Appropriate the humor. Very helpful vid thanks!
Thanks watches the video got it fixed within a hour.
Awesome video.
man thank you so much ❤❤
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 !!
Amazing.
thanks
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.
Thy..big help
Thanks bro
Thanks!
Thank you
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 .
So is it the same part for the connection on the left side? For the rear one too are they the same?
Do you know the part number for the new hose connection that snaps on to the pipe
How did you get the little white piece on the back part of it
Is it the same for the one on the left?
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 about if u don't use conector and just push the hose in and clamped tight?
What's the part number for the old
newIs post connection
Is the truck detailed weekly
My fifth element the water is leaking in the bus crew side.what could be the problem can you help me.
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'd replace both. Odds are the other one will go bad shortly
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.
Can’t get any of those to fit behind in order to remove the radiator connector, next to the heater hose
So I have a 03 Yukon when I turn the heater on just cold air comes out the two lines under the hood going to the heater core are hot but no heat coming out is it because the heater core is clogged maybe??
kick the black box in the passenger area , it would be above your feet
Will that same connector work on the other one on the left?
Yes
Mine doesn't clip on so easy you think it might be the fitment? Its 3/4 but just doesn't fit on good
Hose clamp it down
Yes , the quick disconnect ( 3/4 ' ) does fit, it just needs to be gingelly pushed into the old bib. Using 2 fingers and thumb squeeze then rotate the bib and so on, once it's in there it come right off. I Suggest replacing both at the same time, no room for any tool back there,
Hello son
How are you son
Why not connect the hose directly to the heater instead of this piece of plastic that often breaks ؟
👍
As easy as that? So i got a 08 Chevy Silverado 2500 and then got a 08 GMC Sierra dully truck. I swamped out motors with the transmission. I changed cabs too so then the harness didn't want to connect to the transmission I ended up taking the whole dash out of the Chevy truck with the whole wiring harness two weeks straight on this truck and I did all the body work on it and even painted it. But I can not get those fucking things off for the life of mei am laying in the engine compartment on top of it and everything I did those connecters that slide under the pegs and I can't I tried for 2 hrs straight calling it every name in the book. They do not wanna come out.
Are Both connectors the same ?
Yes
I simply cant get the new parts to slide in and clip in. YET!!
I know wth. I don't want to put to much force on it & mess up the heater core outlet. Maybe spray something on that mofo before & turn it @ the same time.
Thanks… thought I had to replace the hole heater core.
Wonder what moron came up making that piece plastic 🤦♂️
There’s an aluminum version in Amazon that I heard was way better but a lot of people just hose clamp it down as those pieces are always gonna break
I was about to rip apart the dash
why not put the new tip on the hose while you have easy access and then snap into place.
that’s what i did lol very easy
kinda a pain to get in there sometimes tho
Because you don't need the connector. Slide the hose on the pipe with a screw down hose clamp. Boom
Easier said than done lol but then again im working on it so probably a user error

Yeah let’s put trash unreliable adaptors behind your engine in a hard to reach place and have a “special tool” to reach behind it to remove it🤪 dumb for whoever thought this would be a smart place to put these hose adapters
What a stupid design
