I love my mustang community on here.. it seems to be making my life so much easier.. much love and respect to anyone who takes time to do these type of videos.
My Baby done the exact same thing!! 200miles from home!! To get home I stuff shamy n both holes n screwed big fat wood screw n middle of shamys to expand my plugs!! Made it home safe!!! Praise the Lord for I'm blessed !!!
It was so rusted and took a real thin screwdriver between the metal and the plastic of the intake it bent and I took some needle-nose pliers and bent it and came out
Appreciate the info. I have a ‘03 GT and just my nipple came, I still had about an in left. I was able to grab enough to make it home. The hose came in my garage. I couldn’t do a 3/4 my nipple was smaller, so I tried a 3/8 it didn’t work, and then I tried a 3/4 female reducer to a 1/4 male. It went in perfect but didn’t grab. So I ended up using a tap for a 3/8, tapped it and did the rest like you. Everything working right now, thanks again.
That part held up but 6 months later it stared to leak around the thermostat so I replaced the intake. It only took 2 hours to replace and only cost $150 for the part
The nipple broke on my 02 mustang gt. I got lucky and bought a ford performance intake manifold from a guy here in the bay area. They are all out of stock now days
Great video! The exact same thing happened to me the other day (spewing antifreeze all over!). This is a great alternative to replacing the whole manifold! Thank you.
David James I did this today with same exact galvanized nipple. But 3/8 not 3/4. I got a 4.6 07 crown vic. So far no issues seems to be holding up like a champ!!
Same thing happened to me i just did everything step by step as you but quick question after this broke my car didn’t stay on for to long like it died out but it would start right up after a couple mins now did yours do the same im currently waiting for the jb weld to finish drying before i go check it out
When it broke the engine was so hot that it wouldn’t stay running. When it’s cooled down and I made the repair it started fine. If it has trouble running are you make the repair and its cooled down there is something else wrong. Sounds like a vacuum leak.
I bought my 02 last night and I got 11 miles away when the same thing happened to me going 70 mph on the interstate…car shut off automatically because it was so hot MAN WAS I PISSED
Can someone please help me out. The same problem happened to my 02 mustang GT and coolant went all over my engine. After fixing the issue my car has a idle of about 1,600RPMS when coming to a stop. Anyone know how to fix that?
Yes, that is the part that KH-88 (heater hose) goes into. My son's broke (the inlet piece), but he wants a new intake manifold instead of a repair since I can't find the right part anywhere.
Why not get and use a pipe tap that size first? Make the threads deep as you can, the job or any good epoxy let it set overnight. Next day connect the hose all done.
Thank you so much Mr. James. Mine busted 2 nights ago coming home from work, after doing a pretty decent burn out, lol. This will save me time and money. Thanks again buddy.
I have the same year and same color Mustang GT as you and mine just broke. I was accelerating and all the sudden antifreeze sprayed up on the windshield and then I find out that piece broke just like on yours. @#$%^&*!
@@whiteerice9907 It's "jury-rigged." You are welcome to fix it how you want next time it happens if you like. I put more confidence in the repair than slapping another manifold on with the same plastic nipple.
I thought you said it would take an hour. Please explain why this is a half-ass job and how a new manifold is less likely to have the same failure again in the future.
Jake Hetzel the new manifolds are re designed from ford to not have this failure, this is a half ass job because it’s not the correct way to fix it this is the easy or cheap way , and yes It does take about an hour to do unless you sit around with your thumb up your ass and don’t know how to use common hand tools
I have a 04 mustang gt, this problem just happened to me and I couldn’t find that stupid connector fitting to go over that nipple into the hose to be clamped down, I don’t wanna replace the manifold so I really hope this works
I’m replacing both of my heater hoses to on my 01
I love my mustang community on here.. it seems to be making my life so much easier.. much love and respect to anyone who takes time to do these type of videos.
Can anyone tell me if this will actually hold up? Just happened to mine and I cant exactly fund the $300 ford one atm
My Baby done the exact same thing!! 200miles from home!! To get home I stuff shamy n both holes n screwed big fat wood screw n middle of shamys to expand my plugs!! Made it home safe!!! Praise the Lord for I'm blessed !!!
What did you use to get the broken piece out? Need help asap
It was so rusted and took a real thin screwdriver between the metal and the plastic of the intake it bent and I took some needle-nose pliers and bent it and came out
@@automiddleman mine is a 02 and appears to be plastic inside of the hose and broke off during a swap
I know this is old video but my Buddy just rolled in the yard with the same dam problem lol. Thanks we gonna give it a try
Any luck ?
I’m having the same issue too
@@AliAli-qn5pm yeap . It’s good to go.
@@brandonpittman5243 what did you use to get the broken piece out the manifold
7/8 pipe fitting. Tap it .use permatex 5 minute plastic weld..
Never come out..never leak..
Been there..done that.
Having this problem now need help

*off
Need to remove all of the old metal out of the hole. Use something with a sharp tip to separate the old metal nipple from the intake.
crap, wish i had thought of that when mine broke...great job my man...
How did it hold up after these years
That part held up but 6 months later it stared to leak around the thermostat so I replaced the intake. It only took 2 hours to replace and only cost $150 for the part
Great job body I did the same to mine lol n it work perfectly...
The nipple broke on my 02 mustang gt. I got lucky and bought a ford performance intake manifold from a guy here in the bay area. They are all out of stock now days
Do you have the part number for that metal inlet you got
Thanks very much
Great video! The exact same thing happened to me the other day (spewing antifreeze all over!). This is a great alternative to replacing the whole manifold!
Thank you.
Thanks. It looks like it is a permanent fix. No issue since the repair
Thank you for the information
Still holding no issues
Still holding? Same thing happened to me. Is could you give me a link to the exact coupler you used?
David James you should do a video update please thanks
David James
You said 3/4. Well I got that and it was way to big. I ended up using a 3/8 and it went in just fine
David James I did this today with same exact galvanized nipple. But 3/8 not 3/4. I got a 4.6 07 crown vic. So far no issues seems to be holding up like a champ!!
David James Thanks for this video. I had the exact problem.
Yup same thing happened to
What’s the name of the hose?
Same thing happened to me i just did everything step by step as you but quick question after this broke my car didn’t stay on for to long like it died out but it would start right up after a couple mins now did yours do the same im currently waiting for the jb weld to finish drying before i go check it out

David J.
So did it hold after 15 months. Why not let us know.
Yes it held for over a year.the front of the intake where the thermostat is started to fail,so eventually I had to replace the whole intake.
You might just be a lifesaver
What hose is the one you replaced originally, I’m trying to look for it but I can’t figure out what it’s called. Please and thank you for the help🙌🏻
It’s called the heater core supply hose
I have this very problem
Thanks for the idea am do it to my mustaing
Mine started smoking got stuck at work same broken hose
What happened to it did you get any lights what has smoke coming out from
Mines did that 3 days ago coolant and oil everywhere right along with smoke.
I think you would've struggle less if you used a nut on the top end of that pipe. And use a wrench to turn turn it.
You so lucky that didn't break off.
Just came here to check if part kh88 was for that part . Thank you liked 👍🏼
Yes, that is the part that KH-88 (heater hose) goes into. My son's broke (the inlet piece), but he wants a new intake manifold instead of a repair since I can't find the right part anywhere.
this help me so much and it do work's
U think thread lock would work the same as jb wield
Yes. I treaded so tight I probably didn’t need any thing to bond it
Why not get and use a pipe tap that size first? Make the threads deep as you can, the job or any good epoxy let it set overnight. Next day connect the hose all done.
hello could you tell me what kind of connector you used from what department from ace hardware thanks
Plumbing department galvanize steel 3/4 inch
thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much Mr. James. Mine busted 2 nights ago coming home from work, after doing a pretty decent burn out, lol.
This will save me time and money. Thanks again buddy.
Where did you buy the hoses? And what's the part number
Sorry buddy. Its not a coupling. Thats a stainless 3/4in Nipple. Used in gas, water, chemical lines.
1keykneedeep Very true
not stainless steel- galvanized pipe- not a nipple- its a junction
I have the same year and same color Mustang GT as you and mine just broke. I was accelerating and all the sudden antifreeze sprayed up on the windshield and then I find out that piece broke just like on yours. @#$%^&*!
Do it correctly just replace the manifold it won’t take an hour, jerry rigging shit is stupid and not worth the waste of effort and time
@@whiteerice9907 It's "jury-rigged."
You are welcome to fix it how you want next time it happens if you like.
I put more confidence in the repair than slapping another manifold on with the same plastic nipple.
@@whiteerice9907 what is the correct name for the part. I need to order one and fix it properly. Thank you.
Red lock tight
Just replace it 🤦🏼♂️ why jerry rig something that will take 30 min to replace, the 2v is the most simple thing to work on stop with half ass jobs
I thought you said it would take an hour. Please explain why this is a half-ass job and how a new manifold is less likely to have the same failure again in the future.

@@whiteerice9907 galvanized steel pipe will last longer than the car
How do I take the hose off?
Taja King What part of the hose?
David James I finally got that crap off. It was a hassle man
@@automiddleman l
so did the repair hold so far?
Still holding no issues and I put the car under a lot of pressure
cool, thanks for the reply. gonna try the same fix. 2004 GT don't really want to pull intake manifold either.
I didn't show it in the video, but I used a 1/2 inch copper pipe cleaner, to clean out the inlet.
I have a 04 mustang gt, this problem just happened to me and I couldn’t find that stupid connector fitting to go over that nipple into the hose to be clamped down, I don’t wanna replace the manifold so I really hope this works
