Mike, Great Video! A lot of work too! In My Humble Opinion, I personally would never leave the old hoses on the car. After going through ALL of THIS WORK to gain access, I would DEFINITELY REPLACE ALL OF THE HOSES. ;-) Regards, Jack
+Jack Moore Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Great video this is the exact model van I'm working on. It's our family vehicle. I appreciate the visual arrows used throughout the video they are a big help.thanks
Your video is excellent.
I did this job today and i didnt take off the tire , the engine mount , or the windshield wiper box . What i did was remove the brackets holding the 2 pipes together then i put them both in separately through the bottom actually pretty easily. After they were in there i put the brackets back on the pipes and screwed them in .
Also i didnt need to take out the air box or unscrew the throttle cable . and to get the old one out i just bent it so i could pull it right out of the top .
+Melissa Garcia Thank you for the feedback. There are many ways to remove and install these types of parts. We are glad to hear your replacement went smooth and easy.
Melissa Garcia Good info
any other tips? I'm probably going to try this over the weekend..........thank you.
For some folks, these original tubes have the bracket tack welded to the two tubes. For my removal, I also didn't take off the stuff listed here. To remove easily, I cut off as much of the length of the tubes at the bottom as far up as possible. Then pulled them out together easily. Installed new ones as listed here one at a time..
This the only real video ,on TH-cam.
that was the best way on my 1999,great idea
If you just take 20 mins and remove the wiper motor box assy you don't have to mess with lowering the engine. Makes it real easy to remove and replace the tubes.
You guys are the best at explaining things keep up the great videos

great demonstration! Would like to see the lower intake gasket replacement on the 3.3 & 3.8 that commonly leaks towards the front of the vehicle near the ignition coil. also the soft aluminum rear ac lines corrode and leak underneath near the rear of vehicle. thought id ask! thanks
Excellent video!

Whear gloves dude
Other wise great video
Saved 300 bucks
Thanks for the tips
any idea what the size of the rubber hose is?
Is it possible to just change the top hose? I see metal tube that crimps around it.
Looks like yours were replaced at some point already. Your old ones are a newer part number. My 2007 came with crimped hoses from factor and it was a nightmare. Also how is there so much space down below? My bottom hoses are pinned behind the exhaust and ac lines 😭
Good place afterward for a GoJo commercial . Nasty as my daughters. Lol
I clean up the oil n dirt on parts and spaces prior to reinstalling parts. ( not getting paid anyway its family struggling). Nice job Buddy .

Antifreeze is leaking from where the two tubes go up into the floorboards with a rear heater core would be
Yes it did that video was very helpful
My 05 dgc sxt 3.8 v6 is leaking at the coupling/reducer hose connections... I hope I can find another c/r without replacing the whole assy....big headache as you display... I hit a deer a few weeks ago so I had to replace radiator and a.c. condenser and both cooling fans... I got them in so after that noticed antifreeze smell and been having to add coolant to the overflow jug every other day... so tonight it was smoking and I could see the coupling/reducer pieces leaking.. I think it between the core hose and the coupler... the other end reducer connecting to assy is ok. BUT I have NOT noticed the fans coming on ?
The inlet tube was too hard to put in housing but friend got it in now it's leaking where it goes in the housing unit could it be bent or does it need a gasket or something
Look at the battery post
OK, so the passenger side inner wheel wheel is removed. I don't see, in the subsequent process where this provided access to anything crucial to the process. Did I miss something? Time stamp?
Great Video. Not sure why you removed the front tire and inside wheel housing covers.
bsdguy - that was probably done to allow access to part of the engine mount. Removing the wiper box makes the job less difficult than the method shown.
For ease of manuvering the other ends of tube assembly and increase visibility. I suspect!?
Think if you remove wiper tray it would be easier
Great video ...how was this diagnosed ...these pipes are not visible?
Thanks for the video. Time to trade off my caravan. To difficult of job for me and I am sure the cost to repair at a service center is at the least three-quarters of the van's worth.
equallywrong - the job is far easier if you remove the wiper box, see my comment about how. I've seen this job quoted between $250 and $500 including the part. If that's 3/4 of your van's worth it must be in very poor condition, but if you are taking it to a mechanic for everything then there comes a point when it's less expensive to pay $500 or $600/month for a new minivan. (Including taxes, and insurance). If you have an AWD, the only choice is the Toyota Sienna AWD at around $45K+taxes,insurance, etc. which is $750/mo for 60 months plus tax and insurance. For me this is a
My vehicle is an 2005 Chrysler T & C Limited with stow and go but your product seems to be for no stow and go, will this work or is there another part I need?
Thank you.
Looks like you would have had more room if you had taken the wind
shield wiper cowl off. And why did you have to take the front wheel and inner fender wells off?
Hey Mike, I could really use your help bud, well I have a 95 Honda Accord V6 just like the one in your Videos and I wanna do a Timing belt and Water pump Replacement but there's literally NO vids on TH-cam that go over this procedure on this Specific model car. I was Wondering if you could Please do a Tutorial video of sorts on how to do this Repair?? I'd really Appreciate it and would make my life A lot Easier. Thank You Sir.
Thanks for checking us out. We'll keep this request in mind in the event that we need to make this repair in the future. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Can you guys give a demo on how to install a thermostat on a 2003 Chevy impala 3.4

why does this not have the heater control valve. 2001 dodge caravan for example requires one to be installed for rear heat.
do you have a how to video of replacing the heater core for the year and make of my caravan?
+Dean Williams We currently do not have an auto repair video on this particular repair. 1aauto.com
*** NOTE *** if no money and just trying to keep van going due to leaking pipe or rear hoses, just take front motor heater hose off and bypass to rear motor inlet (remove rear hose first of course) - heater wont work anymore, but it's a free fix, and only takes 5 minutes. No need to do anything else. Save up for part and do later....
+Jason Jeske Thanks for the tip!
Folks: Disconnect the battery when you do this. And I sure hope the battery terminals on this van got cleaned, as they were a mess.
What is the part number for a 2006 Chrysler T&C 3.3L?
i have a 1996 dodge caravan and whenever i run my defroster water starts to drip/pour underneath the dash onmy passenger side and i also start to hear a muffling sound as if water is hitting a plastic bag, lol what do you think is my problem? does this mean i need a new heater core? i do get heat and cold air so it works but it seems to me its leaking or something. i need help.
+Dean Williams You may want to inspect it to see where it's leaking from
if this doesn't happen with vent or floor heat, but ONLY with defrost, it CAN NOT be the heater core. It's likely the water off the evaporator of the AC. Many cars automatically turn on the AC when you turn on defrost, even if the air coming out is warm. This removes humidity from incoming air and makes defrost work better. Often times, in the winter, the drain tube for the AC evaporator gets clogged and the water that drips off it CAN'T drain onto the ground. Since you posted this 8 mo ago, you prob already fixed it, but let me know if you need more help, and I'll tell you what to do. Good Luck
Does this part comes with the hose. One hose in may van is leaking. I can send you an image.
+dancar02 Thanks for watching! The part comes just as pictured on our site, and as shown in the video. It should have the hoses that attache to the end.

OMG what's the part number?!! I need this. Tube assembly and rear heat tubes are showing 0 matches on the 1A Auto website.
OK, it's Dorman 626-301. I figured out if you scroll over the "i" in the upper right hand corner, you will see the part and it's a link to the 1A Auto site.
