Hey everyone I desperately need help with my truck. I had a heater hose blow yesterday and I don't know what the piece is called that this hose is connected to. The hose comes out of the firewall and connects to a nipple on the passengers side of the engine. The nipple broke and I don't know what that piece it broke off of is called.

 

It would help if you told us what year and motor you have.. a pic of the part would help even better..

 

sorry it's a 2008 with the 4 6litre 4x4.....i will have a picture later on but this is the closest I could find of what I need. This pic is fron the internet so disreguard the writing. Its the silver nipple that broke.

 

That inlet nipple is replaceable if you can get the other half out.. press a new one in.

 

Is the nipple a dealer part?

 

No.. you should be able to get it at the parts stores

 

I checked everywhere including the dealer and none of them have a listing for that nipple....they say you can't buy it.

 

That’s weird.. I have replaced one before.. not that one though..

 

as of right now....we have hammered a piece of pipe down in the hole and have used JB Weld to secure it......so now have to wait until this evening for that to cure then hopefully I'll be good to go.

 

that should work...
