I appreciate the feedback Bro. I’m new to KZread but I tried to make this video the best I could with part numbers and explanation. I want to help out my fellow truckers that work on their own fleet of trucks. I have a lot of footage of many different How-to videos coming soon. Thanks for watching and I hope I earned your Subscription!

Thank you so much for detailed explanation!!!

Amazing video brother, those hoses caused me two bad break downs in two different trucks, real issue.

Awesome man. Cant go wrong with eliminating points of failure

my connector broke off and between plastic and rubber hose , last night , I must say it is a challenge to patch it up without proper parts, I used an airline to connect between the lines and some clamps, took me 3 hours, at 32F raining/snowing. Great Video I wish I came across it earlier , definitely subscribing

Man you saved me bunch money these tubes on volvo break so easy i am getting ready to replace it now

Hey man thanks for video did same exactly with coolant hosetook me 2.5 hours to get on the road appreciate 👍💪

Thank you man save me a lot

I have replaced all of these intersections with rubber and clamps. The 5/16 shark bite fittings work great. The plastic coolant lines were the worst idea ever. They're constantly shattering

To patch it off to loose your coolant if it happens to anyone. If tou happen to have the drain hose. Cut a peace 4 to 5 inches. Connect both ends to the plastic tubes to close the system make it a one hose no leaks. Use clamps or zip ties. Make it off the highway.

Where did you buy the hose from?

Drop that link for the hose

May I ask if this blue tube is 5521 or 5526? What is the difference?

@DurangoExpressTrucks

5521 is green 5526 is blue, they are thr same just different exterior color. For this upgrade you will need 3/8” Inner diameter. Thanx for watching!

Do you know if anyone make those plastic connectors in metal or the nipple part that goes inserted into the hose. These plastic ones always brake after a while.

I’ve never seen these quick disconnect connectors in metal, only plastic. The way that I did it in this video, these coolant lines will always be serviceable and quickly repaired by you anywhere. The tow man and roadside service guys wont be able to take advantage of you.

Quick question brother .can i use the hoses straight with no connectors ?

@DurangoExpressTrucks

The def doser coolant hose nipple pipes have a step that the quick connect fitting locks on to, that’s what keeps the coolant hoses from popping off the def doser. If you just put a hose straight to that fitting with a hose clamp, under pressure it could potentially slide off. Those fittings on the doser measure 10mm so 3/8” hose should fit. Long term use, if your trucks are running local and come back to the yard every day, straight hose might work for years, might slide/pop off weeks later. Over the road/Regional I’d definitely upgrade it with the new quick connect fittings so they can lock on correctly. In an emergency or in a pinch, like I mentioned at the end of the video, you can temporarily bypass those hoses at the coolant block by the egr cooler, you could just run a piece of 1ft hose and loop it right there, with a hose clamp or 2 to be safe, straight with no quick connect fitting, just be aware they could blow off under pressure and you’ll be back under there fixing them after you lost all your coolant on the side of the road. Fixing it yourself at your own shop/yard is definitely better then paying a $2000 Tow truck bill or $800 to a road service guy to come out and do a patch job at 1am. Thanks for watching Bro.

@@user-bh4hh9wz7b This truck has been running with these mods for 5 years now. Zero issues. Many owner ops that found this video reached out to me and said they broke down on the side of the road and were able to fix their truck themselves and keep rolling.

My 2011 VNL has steel lines with heavy duty hoses connected to them on each end. After 12 years they still look good and they will last lifetime of truck there is no way they brake any soon. Looks like never models have cheap plastic lines I feel sorry for those.

Why didn't you show how to remove hose?

I REMOVED ALL HOSES PLASTIC PIPES AND THE CONNECTOR AND REPLACED THEM WITH SILICONE HOSES AND STAINLESS STEEL CLAMPS FOR APPROXIMATELY $ 120.00

So you can just use clamps to connect on both ends right? no need for the plastic quick connects?

@DurangoExpressTrucks

@@tubeup the plastic connectors have that ridge that helps keep the hose from coming off. The coolant system has pressure, and if you’re driving on the highway and your air compressor is starting to leak pressure into the coolant system or goes bad or an injector cup starts leaking pressure into the cooling system, it’ll blow at the weakest point, those lines with just clamp. Coolant also lubricates, so that hose can slide off the def doser or frame mounted coolant splitter. Your truck, your call though if you wanna save a few bucks for a cheeseburger.
