1994 Suburban heater hose leak to rear heater

[Cusser]

Here's the issue: under the passenger side, a heater hose connection is leaking, has a special type of quick-connect to one of a pair of metal lines that go to the rear heater. That's where it's leaking; I don't need rear heat. Can I just break off that funky "quick disconnect" and cap off the metal lines somehow?

cut off the 2 lines then connect the two together with a hose adapter and clamps...if you need heat later you can restore this..best have the coolant flow rather than caping one line..

with these quick disconnects because they can be expensive most just use clamps..

I am such a stupid !!! Instead of doing this myself, I took it to a shop, and they bypassed both rear and front heater cores. I told the guy, and the paperwork said to bypass the rear heater core, so shop manager will make good, but I need to take it back. Note to self: do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!! do it myself !!!!

OK, located the right 3/4 inch i.d. U-shaped molded hose for this, and got it. Can bypass under the passenger door after removing the hoses to the rear. Gates #19607, $11.
