Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Heater Hose Assembly P/N:626-626
Replace a heater hose whose plastic Y-connector has cracked with the Dorman heater hose assembly 626-538. This Dorman - OE Solutions OE FIX replacement swaps the original plastic Y-connector for an upgraded aluminum one. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2000-2006 GMC Yukon and 2002-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
A heater hose carries engine coolant between the engine and the heater core that warms the cabin. Original equipment assemblies often fail because the plastic Y-connector cracks. Dorman redesigned this outlet-position assembly with an aluminum Y-connector to help prevent the same failure from happening again. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
If you have a coolant leak, a dropping coolant level or visible cracks at the connector, this hose assembly may need replacing. Diagnose the source of the leak before ordering.
