2011 - 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee How to replace the heater core hoses

​@@AxtuoAx How did you get the end pieces to stay on. Not the end with the hose that goes into the heater core but the end with the 2 elbows that go over top of the pipes. Mine keep popping off

[@snatchgripRDL]

Just did this job on my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L Overland. I had a coolant leak on the plastic elbow of the heater hoses. Had to purchase the whole heater hose assembly at the dealership. There was no aftermarket part. Mopar part was $135. This video was excellent step by step. This mechanic is very talented and clearly has put lots of time under a hood and he did an outstanding job with the video, lighting, editing, pointing out difficult steps etc. Very impressed top to bottom. The most difficult step for me was getting the wiper arms off. I tried WD40, PB Blaster, prying them, tapping them for days, steam gunning them, tried 3 wiper arm pullers and none of them would fit because of the way the arm is beveled at the bottom. After literally about 5 hours of trying I used a heat gun right on the stem for about 5 minutes. I put a wet rag around the arm and I put some foil around the arm to protect the plastic. After 5 minutes of heat gun the wiper arm came off with some firm even pressure. Excluding all the work it took to get the wiper arm off, the whole job for me took about 5 hours. Thanks so much!

[@AxtuoAx]

Sounds like those wiper arms were putting up a real fight! Glad you were able to outsmart them with the heat gun trick.

[@Soothsayer-rs5nb]

Just did this job on a 2014 GC. Had a heck of a time getting that firewall shield out, mine had more screws and bolts than the hemi. Also the windshield wiper arm was rusted to the motor. like yours the plastic elbow cracked and the coolant was running down the hose and dripping on the exhaust manifold. When I removed it the elbow it disintegrated in my hand. Why make this elbow out of plastic ???? Thanks for the vid.

[@bryanyoung2089]

Have them come out with a better elbow piece? This is a common problem with these as the elbow is made of plastic. Is there an after market metal elbow available?

where can I get a pair of hose clamp pliers like you used to remove those clamps?

[@paulyzamora5409]

Mine broke on my 2013 dodge durango fixed it but still manages to overheat and nothing leaks any ideas?

[@stevedirsa2521]

Thank you. I assumed I had to pull the whole damn dash as if doing heater core. Much easier-ish. I cut plastic 90 off with angle grinder and got 90 elbow, hose and clamps to limp along until part came in

[@AxtuoAx]

Thanks for sharing

[@jonathanculvert2431]

one question do i need to drain the coolant or antifreeze???

[@SirHoffinator101]

No. It’s higher than the rest of your system so nothing should come out really. I would put a drain pan on the ground underneath because just what’s in the hoses will drain out and anything above the hose line in heater core.

[@JacMoves]

0:08 What size are those 90° fittings on the end of the hose?

[@AGWTravel]

is there any known upgrade to this system that doesn’t include a plastic outlet ? just blew on my 13 gc 6.4L after playing with for a while so i’m interested in preventing this from happening again

[@Dave-tg1pu]

I have no Heaton my 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland. The heater hoses you replaced are hot but I get not hot airframe any vents on any settings. How do I know the problem is the heater hoses you replaced or the heater core?

[@AxtuoAx]

Is the fan working???

[@Dave-tg1pu]

@@AxtuoAx Yes - The fan is working. the coolant temp get to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit and both heater pipes at the firewall are hot so I believe the heater core is not clogged. The thermostat was replaced but no hot air blows from any vents on any settings with the heat on high.

[@maceo_explores]

Check into the blend door assemblies there's one on the driver side and one on the passenger side; mine was stuck blowing hot and never blew cold. Replaced both and got some cold air going, thankfully!

Whats the link to this part? I just got a 2012 i have this same issue.

[@002cbradio]

I would like to say thanks for the video I contacted the dealership they quoted me 5 hours which came up to $1,070😢 I ordered the part for $80 online and it took me 45 minutes to remove the old part now waiting on the new part to arrive to replace Monday the only tools needed was a 10 mm , 15 mm a long extension & long needle nose pliers and PITTSBURGH AUTOMOTIVEFuel Line and A/C Quick Disconnect Tool, 6 Piece $3.99 at Harbor Freight❤ THANKS AGAIN ❤👍😁

[@tjtewshews5531]

Just did this...you should have used your hose pick on those two hoses you cut. I used a regular radiator hose pick on mine and they slid off easier than a magnum on a chinaman. I just dug the pick in at the very end of the hose and pulled. Before that, i poked a hole in the middle trying to pull it off. I don't know if that made it easier when I pulled it from the end of the hose.
