Had a semi-successful trip to the pick-n-pull today. Grabbed a heater tube assembly off an '01(?) Explorer. Luckily someone else had already removed the upper intake. This assembly is a bit different than my original. The nipples are located closer to the front of the engine and the hoses that connected to the nipples went somewhere under the upper intake (as seen on an '01 Mountaineer elsewhere in the yard.) I assume I can just take a hose and loop it between these two points.
The tubes have a fair amount of corrosion. I wonder if I should just ditch this setup all together and run rubber lines from the front of the engine to the heater core? Maybe find some tees and create my own loop behind the engine? Curious if anyone else has done this.
