you need to get the oem hose's and "T"'s, those aftermarket things never last
or if those were oem then time was up, they can last up to 10 years but I replace them at 5

other things that go are the knock sensors, fuel pump, water pump, radiator, the fuel vapor canister and solenoids, window regulators, door switches, hvac actuators, wheel hubs.
but once you get it all straightened up she's good for another 10 years

Mine are original on all three trucks, better get some ordered up and at least put them on the shelf!

Been there, done that, but I was not in my garage at the time. In my case, the heating hose literally tore itself apart right at the Tee. Kind of my fault, as I was 'comparing accelerating rates' with another vehicle at a light that just turned green.

Replace both Tees with OEM Tees while you are at it, and if your heating hoses have not yet been replaced, replace ALL of them.

How did the comparison go?

Those are brand new connectors. I’m just gonna hose clamp the hoses to the heater core

The lower tee towards the engine block is metal

the "t" is oem or aftermarket?, I'm going to guess aftermarket because one should be white and one should be black, as they have a different angle
I have seen the oem hose come in both ways 1. with a quick-connect and 1. with a spring clamp

One is white one is black the parts except the hoses and metal part close to the thermostat is OEM replacements that’s why I’m so salty anyway here’s the get to and from work for a week setup
