AutoZone sells a T for that problem for $5-$10

And issue going on in a 2016 ford explorer 2.3 eco boost they hose I’m looking for is like impossible to find unless from the dealer and not for under 130 bucks I’m gonna try this worse thing that could happen is I have to buy the whole things thanks for the video super helpful

I went to home depot and got a metal T and for the rear heat I used a metal Y. It did the trick...

I have spent hours looking how to remove those stupid bands. Never thought to use side cutters, fixing to do the same thing you did. Thanks a million........

🙏🏿

This connector just failed on me this video helped a lot

I don’t see why everybody doesn’t fix it like this, or maybe even use a brass pex T. I hate those junk Ford connectors.

Thanks for this. Perfectly helpful

Thanks for the save! There is alot of debris left over because it doesnt come out completely! Just make sure to check the hose and turn the expediton a quick few times so it can flush the debris! Flush Flush it all out oh and also put a plastic trash bag underneath the wo hoses!

8 years later ... thank you so much...

I’ve liked you video on this before a couple years ago, now I need to remove the coupling near the fire wall on that same line.

I did as you mentioned and it work on my 2010 ford expedition, Thanks

Thanks a lot this helped my car started it was that motor, it was cranking continously without starting

And does it stay on after the coolant reaches max temperature and pressure?????

What size T do i need brother?

My hose ends were stretched so the 3/4" tee didn't work. I hand to use (3) 1/2 pipe nipples and threaded into a tee.

Nice video, but the backing music is too distracting

I am literally on the road today pulling my travel trailer. That heater hose failed on me and left us stranded on the freeway. AAA towed my truck and trailer to Flagstaff, AZ ( 30 miles ), and got me to a NAPA store. I repaired mine the same exact way. It was good to know I did it the way others suggested (although after the fact). Thank you for the video.

Better solution: get a brass t at the hardware store for $4. If you're going to do this, replace with metal and solve the problem permanently. I do this on all my vans. Once replaced, it's good for life. (at least it has been so far).

Hi, the video has 8 yrs. , any follow-up update on this repair ?? , do you know if it lasted ?? or was there any trouble with this part because of Temperature or pressure ?? Please let us know. I just did it on my 2008 Ford Expedition Tee with 100 Kmiles, I would like to know if I can be relax or I would have to keep a very close eye on it, your reply will be greatly appreciated by everyone. Thanks !!

I am on my way to oRielys THANKS!

Did the t connector last?

Very detailed and visible video I have a 1994 GMC Suburban K1500 Star Craft addition that I am replacing gas tank on. Almost all videos I watch to work on cars the videos are terrible people are all over the place or they just tell you how its done and dont really show exactly whats going on. So Thank You this was a great!!!

Mr. T

I’m doing this today. Or attempting too. Thanks

5.4L engine requires 3/4” tee. Worked like a champ!!

JUST DID MINE I USED 1" BRASS TEE LOWES # 818303 BRASS STRAIGHT COUPLING LOWES # 818300 5 CLAMPS I USED THE METHOD IN THE VIDEO TO REMOVE OLD TEE WORKED PERFECT! THE HOSE THAT CONNECTS TO THE LEFT TEE CONNECTION HAS A PLASTIC STRAIGHT COUPLING WITH A 3" PIECE OF HOSE THAT ALSO NEEDED REPLACING. I USED THE BRASS ONE LISTED ABOVE. I HAD TO REUSE THE OLD 3" PIECE OF HOSE BECAUSE NOBODY HAD 1" HEATER HOSE. INSTALLED BRASS T & BRASS STRAIGHT COUPLER & 5 CLAMPS WORKS LIKE A CHARM. TY FOR THE AWESOME VIDEO!

Amazing!!! Thanks for the hack!!!

Thank you soooooooooooo much.

Thanks, this helped me out today!

Thanks for the tip! I was expecting the worst when I saw coolant all over the plugs until I saw the tee leak at higher engine RPM, then I still cringed at the goofy looking fittings. Glad they can be broken easy and its just normal heater hose underneath.

Just fixed this today, 7 years after you posted this. I tried to just put a new clamp on because I could see where the leak was, but it was obvious after that did nothing that the plastic was basically cracked inside. Found a brass T at Lowes like some other people here and fixed it right up. Great tip on keeping the pieces from falling back into the hose. Thanks for saving me about $300 in a now 2022 upgraded dealer estimate! God bless you as well!

THANK YOU SI MUCH I GIVE YOU My LIKE👍YOUR VIDEO WAS HELP TO ME!!!

Good hack man

I know this video is a old one, hopefully you are able to help. Would this same method work on a 2009 ford explorer?

Very information and great content! I’m about to start on mine.

So on the fuel lines on is longer than the other as with nipples on fuel pump side. Which one goes where? I forgot 🤦‍♂️

They want 200 for this hose now

What size T fitting ? They have two options... 1. 3/4 x 3/4 x 3/4 and 2. 5/8 x 5/8 x 5/8 ? Great video ❤🎯💯

Glad I ran across this video. Just finished doing this on my 2013 ford expedition limited. Had to use a 1 inch brass t fitting instead of a 3/4. Costed me $12 total including the 3 hose clamps from Lowes. Worked to perfection. Thanks 😎😁👍💯✌

Thanks for posting this. I had to repair then”Y” portion. Without your video I didn’t have a clue. Fixed it fast for $14.

My truck is having this issue but it’s leaking into the spark plug area

Can I use the aftermarket motor I bought on eBay? It's not Lexus genuine. I bought it on eBay for 20 dollars. But I'm a bit nervous.

Greatly appreciated, good tip, worked out great. I bought my tee at O-Rileys Auto Parts part #28635 for $5.49, I spent more on hose clamps than I did on the tee.

hi can you explain about voice command and radar and and you can show how to program the door please

este video me aorre $

Your 6-year old video continues to help! I just replaced the tee on my 2008 Explorer 4.0. I used a brass tee from Home Depot, 3 hose clamps and a gallon of antifreeze. It went just as easy as it appeared on your video and took longer to get the parts than to do the job. The only change was that I needed a 1" x 1" x 1" tee, not 3/4. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video.

Props to you for making this video I do these jobs daily so I know the feeling !!

Thank you!
