heater hose pipe along passenger frame rail

[bbeck]

Does anyone have the part number or know where I can get this piece for my girlfriend's 92 grand prix? I bought her another coolant reservoir as the previous repair (plain heater hose) had pushed the reservoir out into the a/c clutch and wore a whole through it. Right now, there is about 3 feet of 3/4" heater hose that just hangs there. Pics of an original setup would be appreciated as well. I may just end up piecing something together, but would like to look into going to the original setup.

The only thing I can find is on another forum: heater hose

I'm thinking about getting an elbow to come out from the water pump housing and just route it a little better than the previous guy. Unless I can find a new hose and pipe at a decent price..

It is discontinued and they rust out due to their position near the wheel well.

alright, thanks. Couldn't find it on gmparts, but wanted to be sure that someone didn't know of another place it might be offered

well, I found that they are still sold. They are made by dorman- part # 626-100. Summit sells them: Dorman 626-100
I will prob just do heater hose to get the girlfriend by for now and replace the whole pipe at a later date.

Nice, I had no idea. Ive kept one that is near mint because I didn't think it was possible to buy them any more.

That's a really nice price too. I might get one for the 92 when this engine on the stand goes in this summer just for a piece of mind. I'll probably undercoat it too just to be safe. I doubt the one on the 92 is about to rust through, but better safe than stranded, especially for the price.

For sure. I might still one one in my 91 GP as well. Had I known it was still available you could have taken the one I have. I will hopefully never use it but thinking it was rare, I was gonna hold onto it.

Like my poor truck needed any more weight in it when I came home. It's probably still mad at me, but at least it still starts every morning problem free
