Heater hoses
Are the hoses 2 different diameters? I bought som 3/4 heater hose but its to large to go on the tilting in the intake. Must be 5/8"?

Re: Heater hoses
GM likes to use both 5/8" and 3/4".
Don't know why. |

Re: Heater hoses
So if I'm standing at the front of the truck looking at the lines coming through the firewall, which one goes to the water pump?

Re: Heater hoses
I've never figured out the "why" either but GM has done that on almost everything since they built. I'd imagine it has something to do with helping the coolant flow back to the water pump.

Sounds a little rediculous to me, I wouldn't think the small amount of heat the heatercore removes from the fluid would be enough to cause that kind of expansion, but the theory does make sense. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Heater hoses
It's common practice to make the suction side larger than the pressure side on a liquid pumping system. The water pump is the suction side.
