Shakti Vette Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This is one item I replaced on our Vette, I recommend to all to do the same. This small item can leave you stranded and needing a tow or worse... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Corvette-C6-Ultimate-Coolant-Upgrade-SS-Tee-Z06-GS-LS2-LS3-LS7-2005-2013/173160241666?_trkparms=pageci%3A3789a095-150b-11e8-a9b0-74dbd1803db1|parentrq%3Aab7261801610a8669c11800cfff42c1c|iid%3A1&_trksid=p2481888.c100678.m3607 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixAddict Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks Jeff, just checked and I have the plastic pos. ordered mine just now. Looks like an easy fix, not so much on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakti Vette Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 I would hate to see one of us stranded on a road trip because of this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAMMER Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Plastic parts sucks!! in any applications........ some water supply lines (OLDER WHITE STYLE) used a plastic barb to attach its tubing to the 3/4” female metal couplings. The hot water caused it to become brittle and snap at the joint. I had a apartment job that flooded a kitchen when a tenant while putting away a cleaning supply bin caused the hot supply line to move. SNAP! hot water blowing out! Try shutting of a hot water valve under your sink while avoiding being burned by hot water. This really happened. Use steel braided lines! They use brass or metal barbs to connect the tubing lines. FYI SLAMMER😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NativeAz Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks Jeff... I need to order one. I would really get steamed if that failed on the road. Any idea of the dimensions? Looks like maybe 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/4 (total guesstimate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
