this just happened to me yesterday and I was prepared to tow my truck to the shop. however I've been in the habit of coming to youtube university to see if there is a remedy that I can execute to save me money. This is very much doable, thanks for the video Danny...

Great work around from those quick disconnects which can be a pain!!!

Fantastic video man.......that connection on my 2005 Escalade just broke in the exact same location. Lost about 2.5 gallons of coolant (out of the 4.5 total in the system). I ended up driving another 90 seconds or so since I was close to home. On the way, I put it in neutral, shut the engine off and coasted for a good chunk of it. The temp gauge was still rising very quickly but never overheated so I am hoping that means there was enough coolant left to get an accurate reading on the temps and that I didn't cause any damage to the head gasket or heads.....looks good so far thank God I really appreciate you showing the alternative method of repairing this. I'm not a big fan of worm gear hose clamps for cooling system repairs but they are 100x better than whatever GM was trying to do with these quick connectors..... I ended up just going to O'Reilly's and getting 1/2 inch (inner diameter) heater hose. Strangely, the correct hose size is 9/16 (inner diameter) but good luck finding that. The 1/2 worked just fine, I had to gently stretch it out some needle nose pliers and ended up lubricating the inside lightly with some liquid silicone grease. It made for a fantastic fit on both the heater core and water pump connections. For anyone else out there, I would personally skip on getting a specific part replacement and just rig up your own setup. It will be much more serviceable the future and any coolant leaks for a loose hose clamp are much easier to fix than a quick connector that either works or doesn't. No need to buy the part online, just get some 1/2 heater hose, hose clamps, and liquid silicone grease. Good luck to anyone else dealing with this!

65 yr old female here lol So I don’t need the quick clamp, I can just go straight in. Is it important to poor coolant in the water pump like you was showing. I can’t just poor it in the heater hose 🤷‍♀️ If I can’t fix it then I will have it towed. Broke in the yard. TYJesus. I go to KZbin for everything. I think the only problem I might have is strength . Ok I saw the burping process in the comment. Pretty important. I really didn’t want to takes all the hoses apart dang it.

Would a failure of that adapter cause wet floors it's dripping under hood from that area onto a coil and manifold but before I rip my dash out was jw

If its a wet floor inside the truck it may be the heater core under the dash. This line should only drip onto the garage floor

So do you still have heat after the fix cause mine just broke as well so I just bypassed it for now

I still have heat because it was fixed and the lines go to the heater core. If you bypass it no heat

My question I was trying to get instructions one of my horses pops out I couldn't find where it goes. The vehicle is GMC Savannah Express van it's so hard to see on the outside. What do you suggest sir? What the hell did you was showing the site from the other side, could you help please? I'm stuck on the road thank you so much.

@dannyjohnsonsgarage 5 күн бұрын

The van may be different than the trucks listed in the video. You’ll have to find which hose is broken and see where it leads to, then get that part. It’s possible some heater hose of the same size could be used temporarily but you will need hose clams

@dannyjohnsongarage Is this line pressured? Why do you think that GM used the plastic connectors instead of just using worm clamps to begin with?

@dannyjohnsonsgarage 2 ай бұрын

It has pressure with the water pump running (up to 30 psi) but will slightly gush when removed. They used it for ease of a quick connect when installing is my guess.

I had the same failure yesterday while changing my plugs. I barely bumper into it and it sheared off. I bought the same Dorman 800-409 repair coupler. It is not correct for this application. There is no repair piece available. It's a different style of quick connector, that's why it doesnt fit and leaks like crazy. Your repair should work at least in a pinch, or you can just buy the repair hose for a proper fix. The correct hose with the proper connector is a Dorman 626-654. That's the hose with a single connection to the water pump.

Hi there. I have a question i have a isuzu ascender. I notist it only has one heater hose connected. But nothing in the second one i see the pipe on its own. I think where i took it they took one off. So they should have two? Right?

Yes, it should go in one side to the heater core, then return back

Do yourself a favor and do away with these quick release fittings altogether just like this guy did. There is no benefit to having them on your vehicle, they will only wear out later. Install standard T's and or clamp hoses directly without quick release fittings.

Listen to this person. I am getting beyond PO'd because I can't get the quick connect off. I'm 6'1" and have above average size hands I guess, and I am literally having to climb up into the hood, lay down, and somehow fit my hands which seem to triple in size whenever I need to reach between things, and on top of this, the quick connect WILL NOT RELEASE and the hose has rotted, pliers just break it apart... But only up to the connection... This is a 2006 Tahoe

@jeremywoodall9800 4 ай бұрын

People removing the quick connect fittings do NOT do you any favors. The end that the hose clicks into is plastic. It is not meant to have tension pushing into it from a hose camp. It’s a pressure fitting that seals itself by making a clean connection end to end. You crushing it with a hose clamp is just going to break the fitting off farther back into the firewall and then your really up a a creak. Replace it with a factory GM hose or do this and sell the vehicle. Either way doing this will cause to to have more issues sooner than later. You don’t clamp things to plastic.
