Ok Burb gang, got a question. This weekend I got a hairline crack in one of the plastic heater hose quick disconnects under the hood (where it splits into front/aux heaters, not actually at the heater core), and a pinhole coolant leak. The heater hoses look like they're probably original, so I want to just replace them all. Under hood looks easy enough, I'm not messing with new QDs, just gonna use new hose and worm clamps. I want to do the same under the back of the truck. But before I do, I just want to double check what I'm getting into.
Two pictures below. The first shows what I think each of these lines are, just want to make sure I'm not crazy. The front of the truck is "up." Blue is AC, red is heat, right? The yellow circle is the connection in the other picture...what is this? The line to the right leads to the front of the truck and seems to be a metal line with a rubber sleeve, to the left the hose just coils and plugs into the rear heater. The weird connection...is that going to be something I can hose+clamp like usual? I don't want to start ripping things apart if I'm going to need to do something special. A friend suggested flaring the end of the metal line, which is probably a good idea.
It's too damn hot here (115 or so) to waste time laying on the driveway.
