Does anybody have part numbers or anything for what heaterhoses will work or any ideas what parts will work? My friend just called me and told me him and his dad want to drop it in tonight, so I'm trying to rush around finding which hoses I need.

Please.. pictures would help too.

If you find out what size hose you need, you can go to Hi-Lo or Autozone and get it. They may be able to tell you at the store but I'm not for sure.

I ordered the EZ install kit from Heavy Throttle that came with all the necessary heater hoses. The brand on them is Gates, here's the part numbers:Upper heater hose L-shaped: 28467Upper heater hose U-shaped: 19666Lower heater hose S-shaped: 19606I think you still have to cut them to the right size (I haven't installed mine yet), but these will get you close.Also included was a little plastic connector that connects the two upper hoses together. Oh, and don't forget hose clamps, of course. That's it though.Hope that helps you out!

I dont know about heater hoses but, ive has a bad experience using plastic pipe connectors, I wouldnt recomend using them in any piping that has HOT liquid running through it, had some shrink on me before, If that happens you got a nice leak. The connector i used was cheap, so maybe theres a better alternative, but you wouldnt want to lose all your coolant because of a leaky heater core if you know what i mean.:ylsuper

The plastic connector I got with the kit looks exactly like the plastic used on the connections on the firewall for the heater core. So hopefully I won't have that problem, but thanks for the tip. :)
