99screaminregal Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Ok, as we all know, the heater core pipe on the LQ1 was a piece of shit. Mine finally rusted through and I cut the piece of the pipe out and put a piece of rubber hose in and slabbed the hell outta the ends with RTV. Still leaks............. Went on AZ, Napa, Advance sites and found the replacement on Napa's site . Application says for the 3.1..... Looks just like what I have though. Will it work??? I'll just print a picture off for now and look at it when I get to work on it today. If so, and I bought it, what would be the best way to keep this from rusting out?? Could I spray some underbody coating on it and keep the moisture off the outter metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I had no idea that they even made new ones. Picture of it? I would just spray it with a good rust preventive paint like rustoliem. not too much we can do in northern climates about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White93z34 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Figures it would be a NAPA part, they carry the most odd shit. I'll have to pick up one for my GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99screaminregal Posted April 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Yeah, that's why I always have them on speed dial. So, does it look like it will fit the LQ1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 yeah it looks like it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yeah I've got a nos heater core pipe, invaluable in the rust belt I have my pick of about 50-100 of those pipes rust free any time I visit the pull-a-part yards here.

mra32 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I just got the old 6' length of heater hose and replaced the leaky one. Looks factory enough and was only $6 or something like that. Replaced it a few minutes after buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
