Hey y'all!
I bought a 454 suburban about a month ago, and today I was on my way to buy some seats from a guy when I noticed my water temp was high. I coaxed it home, and found that it is leaking from somewhere in the area of the heater lines.
What a rats nest of hoses!
This vehicle is just the funvee, not a DD. So I want to bypass the heater core.
Do I understand correctly that all I need is to cut the lines from the radiator, then from the intake manifold, and install a 3/4" barbed fitting to join the two?
I did a forum search, and got lost in all of the posts. I'm sure one exists explaining this, but I couldn't find it. It's more confusing than the tangle of hoses going to the front and rear heaters.
Thanks guys!
