pwmin Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 the coolant hose on my 3.4 that runs from the wp back around the "back" of the engine (by the firewall) needs to be replaced. anyone know if i can get a new one or if i will have to take it off and take it to a hose shop to have it fixed? also, do i need to drop the subframe or anything to get the line/hose out?

White93z34 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Posted August 16, 2007 i usually just cut the rusted part and replace it with 5/8s heater hose however i do believe that GM still has it available Quote
pwmin Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Posted August 17, 2007 the problem is the rubber part was cut below the wp and i had to put a brass elbow and 2" threaded pipe on it and now the rubber thats left is starting to crack. kinda hard to explain. i guess i could just cut the metal somewhere and put a hose on, maybe find one with a formed 90-degree bend. we dont have rust problems here. now, it is the pressure hose, right? i found the pn in one of the faq theads and the pressure hose jives on gm partsdirect (for $100) but not the return hose.

pwmin Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Posted August 19, 2007 thx for the help. i ended up just cutting the tube and getting a 3/4" formed 90* heater hose and it worked out great. Quote
