LTs have "several" heater hose "sections" with the aluminum crips. Take a photo and post it so we can see which specific hose you're talking about. Or, a better discription of which heater hose section.

that thing is a restricter, to slow down coolant flow through the heater core, was added to reduce noise of water flow in the core
feel free to remove it, and run a hose, you won't even notice it gone
