2014 traverse heater hose cheap quick fix

SHOT THE VIDEO ONCE SO MORE SPOTTY THAN USUAL.
went to the parts store and was told the heater hose with the quick disconnect was part of an assembly that would be 144 or 160 plus tax. had some heater hose and a clamp left over from the Z. so 20 minutes later I was on the road again headed north.

Thanks for the video. This just happened to me today

[@MrMK211516]

Glad it helped. Couple of bucks, and some coolant.

@@MrMK211516 update. Car still overheated. Going to look into the heater core or thermostat now. Wish me luck 🍀

[@michael84003]

exact break for me too. IN 2023 on a 2014 GMC Acadia. Now I just need to figure out the "quick" disconnect. Quick for manufacturing.....not for me.

[@MrMK211516]

Just break it off. You don't need it anymore. Just be careful with the aluminum pipe not to bend or score it too bad.

What’s the part number of the hoses ?

[@mikemartinez604]

I used an Autozone 50277 flexible heater hose 3/4inch.

[@emmasdad5426]

I was going to do this but when I pulled the hose from the “T” well the “T” broke. Tried to remove it and it broke in all three hoses.not sure what to use as a replacement t.

[@MrMK211516]

Parts store has a generic wall with 5/8 T fitting. You can also ask the guy at the counter. Sometimes, they'll have them behind the counter visible. Good luck.

[@MrMK211516]

Also, use razor to cut the old hose. Just be careful.

[@dznuttzonyachin7499]

If you have time locate a metal 5/8 Tee fitting from parts store .. or order one
Otherwise generic platic Tee 5/8 will do ..5/8 all three sides dont forget

[@jesset6574]

$160 sounds like a warranty and guarantee not blowing under pressure these cars need oem parts they don’t function like the older vechile bro.

[@MrMK211516]

I'll take my chances being it's a year and haven't had any trouble

Do you happen to work for GM by the way?

[@Cr8azlifestyle]

Did it end up working in the long run ??

[@MrMK211516]

It's still working as of today. Took it up the mountains and back that day.

[@Cr8azlifestyle]

Ok sounds good I’m about to do the same hose ended up busting by any chance you have to change your heater core I got the same 2014 traverse

[@MrMK211516]

@@Cr8azlifestyle No, I just did the hose. Unless the heater core is leaking too you don't need to replace.
