Heater Core T-connectors Broke

[donjetman]

I purchased the Gruven heater core connectors a couple of months ago but that project never made it to the top of the list UNTIL TODAY!

I was 7 miles from home at Home Depot when one of the plastic t-connectors failed. I plugged the bad hose and pinched shut the other and went home and installed the GruvenParts connectors. The job is a PITA.

I also change the upper & lower rad hoses, both heater hoses, and new coolant. I need to replace the plastic wire loom back there too.

Not much fun to install BUT at least you will never have to do it again... or worry about them breaking.
