This piece of trash plastic tube! First one I have broken but i sure didn't make any money on that job after spending an hour removing and installing the new one.

Yeah this line is a pain in the a$$! I didn't break mine but I had read about it being easy to break so I was beyond careful with it. I think Steve(powerstroked162) is working on a solution to this.

stupid question. what is it

ghohouston · Sep 4, 2013

A coolant line, a BRITTLE plastic coolant line

webb06 · Sep 4, 2013

a plastic tube that routes coolant from the front engine cover over to the heater core. its routed right next to/underneath the intake manifold and requires removing many things to get it out

I broke 2 the first cab on head stud job. The 2nd one broke installing it. I used a 6.0 flange and soft hose and ditched that turd. They break just looking at them.

Yup it's a fine piece of work!

Wow thanks for the heads up, hopefully a stronger line or better solution come for this.

Anyone ever just cut the end mounts/attachments off and use a braided line in the middle or anything?

Yah, bigpowr your talking about? He used 6.0 flange, don't have 6.0 powerstroke parts lying around so wondering if someone did something similar with the 6.4 broken piece.

Thats the cheap easy fix, if your ever stranded that will get you going.

*** that ***n thing... Doing injectors and literally pushed it 3/4 of an inch snapped right the *** off!!

Did the same thing when installing my egr delete. What I did was cut it off flat, melted a "flare" on the end of it and put heater hose and a hose clamp on it. Been like that for over two years and still going.

This is okay to do on your own personal truck but I couldn't do that being it was a customers truck. Sucks but I got it done without much fighting

strokin20 · Sep 6, 2013

Yea I was just throwing it out there for guys that may end up in the same situation I was in. Definitely not a professional repair, but it will get you out of a bind.
