Has anyone replaced the coolant hose that runs from the water pump to the heater core? I think I may have a small leak.

 

I had to replace the clamps on mine. Pain in the ***!

 

I kinda figured it would be. The worst part about it is I can't tell where the leak is, but it seems to be after where it start to run on this inside of the body.

 

The heater hoses don,t run anywhere on the inside of the body. It looks like it but they don,t.
Its not hard to replace, getting to the star head bolt holding em in down by the manifold is tuff but not impossible.
I recently ditched the whole HVAC system and just yanked em out and tossed them in the trash. or I would send it to you.

 

I had a small leak just where the hose starts at the pump. I just cut that part and replaced it with a new hose and clamped it to the metal part, where the purge screw is.

 

damn this cursed hose - had my headers burn through the back part by the heater - not wanting to replace whole thing i got a brass barb - cut out section and clamped it - now i have a pinhole leak by the bleader screw at front of engine - so going to cut hole thing out and just clamp new hoses onto the metal as stated above

 

Wish mine problem was that easy. My leak is somewhere up along the inner fender somewhere.

 

does anyone know if this particular hose with the bleeder screw is included in the goodyear hi-miler kit?

 

pretty sure it is included- however u need to cut the crimps off the metal bleeder piece and hose clmap it in

 

Dang!! Has anyone replaced the bottom hose, the one that come out of the pump and runs back to the heater core, that can give me a little insight?

 

I think I found the pin hole. Anyone know if a PVC coupling will hold up to coolant temps?

 

not likely - CPVC is meant for high temps- PVC doesnt hold up

 

Think I coulkd find some CPVC at like Lowes or something?? Also anyone know what size the hose is?
