97 k1500 z71 silverado, BLOW THE HEATER CORE????
i have a stock 97 1500 z71 silverado with a 350 vortec. ok... so the heater hose that goes from the fire wall to the intake manifold busted loose at the quick connect coupling. i swapped it out for a brass nipple and figured i'ld run a regular hose. couple buddies say this will blow the heater core one after another. is this true? doesn't really make sense to me why it would... could some body please explain? thanks

aftermarket caps of higher than 15 psi would cause damage...seen this before..better to use 14 psi than go higher than 15psi if neceassary. |
