hey everyone, I blew the lower heater hose where it connects to the waterpump. its right around 3" above the crimp fitting. As my luck has gone the last few days the part is ,of course, discontinued. I am going to try to cut the crimp off and and put a new piece of hose from the crimp up and use a hose clamp. has any one else had this hose blow on them?

 

If it is in a straight section, you could cut it where the hole is and put a union (hose barb) and clamps on it.
