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...
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!
Great work around from those quick disconnects which can be a pain!!!
Thanks bro I broke it changing valve covers. Was scrambling. Thank you for the easy fix
Thanks for the info 👊🏾
Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
Them connectors ain’t coming off easy you have to break the tabs
Ested es El mejor con sus esplicaciones you are the best
Muchísimas gracias. Estoy feliz que encontraste la película
Thank you very much that made my day man my car ma hose just sheared right off. So that’s looks simple enough thank you very much
thats some good help.👏👏 thank you very much...God Bless you.
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
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 UA-cam 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.
Helpful video!!!
Life saver thank you!!!
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.
Perhaps yours was like this one. What year was yours? ua-cam.com/video/Z_woYY9RUVM/v-deo.htmlsi=qImJVBLogT9pX7aa
Spot on
Hell yeah! Thanks man’
Thankyou

Do you have the part number for all parts that are needed I’d would be very grateful. The auto stores here close are AutoZone and Oriely
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.
Noted. But I think it's sad we have to deal with plastic on this. Hoses and clamps are cheap and simple. Complicating it so you can design more plastic in a car is disappointing.
Same issue and i cannot find the correct replacement quick connect. Ordered one from chevy dealer, if it doesn't fit, I'm running the hose exactly like you did
@@paulbrantley535 I believe the 2000-2007 had the one shown in this video and newer had the connector with the two taps like wings
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.
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
Heater hose is stuck
Same happened to mines seem like wrong hose..
It may also have an adapter missing (or that needs to be removed).
Thank you for the video. How do you get the air out of the system?
Here is a burping example ua-cam.com/video/XqyhfLk9ML8/v-deo.htmlsi=osDv_F2HiP__E3qw
Will this be the same for a 2014-2015 Silverado 1500?
Very similar
I got a 2012 silverado and there is no tabs to get the quick connect off. How the hell do I get it off
There is a line disconnect tool. Here is another video with that fitting ua-cam.com/video/Z_woYY9RUVM/v-deo.htmlsi=hk-KK5ltRJwYYb7K
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage thank you but I was actually using one of those what I ended up having to do is file the tabs on the disconnect tool until they were thin enough to actually go up inside the darn fitting. Just got it done thank you for the response much appreciated
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
@dannyjohnsongarage Is this line pressured? Why do you think that GM used the plastic connectors instead of just using worm clamps to begin with?
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.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Thank you.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Somebody in these comments pointed out that those ends are plastic, and not designed to have hose clamps pressure on them. That's the reason for the "quick connects", they're designed for the plastic ends. If those ends break, back inside the firewall...man that would suck.
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
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
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage This person didn't want to give me a waranty of the work. I did notist something very off when i went to pick up my isuzu. He was doing the same job to this guys truck. And i told him how much i has to pay he said nothing. And the other guy was laughing. Something sound very fishy.
There is a reason these come in a 2 pack 😅 they break all the time. I keep my spare in my glovebox.
Yeah that didn't work at all... snapped the whole T right in half
Need to burb them every 2 years or so
How many jugs of cool and did you need
One did it. Depends on how much you lost
