At least it's warm out now, but I'm trying to bypass the lines to the heater core so I can drive the 4runner. The inner diameter isn't 5/8", anyone know the size of the molded hoses so I can run a bypass?

Thanks in advance,
John

 

Isn't the OD 5/8"? take a chunk to the store, they'll size you up.

 

It was closer to 11/16 inside diameter, so metric sized. Napa had no clue, told me it was 5/8ths and sent me walking. Went to Auto Zone, he found me a molded hose for a Nissan, similar bend in the hose. Now I have the heater core bypassed and can drive the truck again. Not looking forward to the 11 shop hours a heater core replacement takes.

 

i don't think it's really an 11 hour job... but I am about to do the same thing. ill let ya know how it goes.

 

Have the days to finally remove and replace the heater core. Need to find a write up on it since I have no clue how to take the dash and cluster out. Anyone that has done this, post me a link or two, I would greatly appreciate it.
