My heater hose has a leak, and have been trying to find it in a junk to no avail. So the question is can I run w/o repairing it if I don't use the heater? And is there anyone who has done a makeshift repair on a leak that lasted at least a week?

It's quite expensive to buy the whole assy, any other suggestion are welcome as well,

Thanks a lot,
Sachi

 

here is the process for a lt1, i believe the hoses are retained the same for the base model. 4th Gen LT1 F-body Heater Hose R&R
if nothing else you can run a length of heater hose from the outlet to the inlet, usually from water pump to the intake/engine. backtrack the hoses to where they come from and run hose from one to the other... if that makes sense.

 

V6fixit.com sells the kit
Or you can just get the adapters form ebay around $30 then buy to 3' hoses 1 5/8 and 1 3/4, then junk the stock crap.

Here's a view mine

 

i looked for a how to, fbody did you make a thread when you did yours?

H..y crap guys, that guide is awsome. Thanks. I'll try it asap

 

Did it with those 30$ ebay piece. I needed to get an longer hose from autozone for 3$ though. It worked well Thanks a lot guys.
