Alright, I need to change one hose, but have no clue what it's called. There is a tiny hole in it i'm loosing all my coolant.

P.S.: Yes I tried looking for it online, but have no more patience. Thank you.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the tube that supplies heat inside the cab.

Thanks for trying. Looks like I should have started a new thread. Either way, I got told this had to be custom made. The hose is 5/8 but one end is a different size (3/4) So, I got a 5/8 hose cut to the right length. Then I got a shorter one in the 3/4 size and a 5/8 to 3/4 connector. Should be fix by tomorrow.

Thanks, but like I posted earlier, I got everything I need. I went to Canadian tire and they didn't know what it was. They are useless. I know they sell packs of hose, but I needed 2 sizes. It would have cost me 20-25$. I was able to get everything I needed at the garage/part store beside my work for 10$.

Should be fix by tonight.

Hose is fixed!! New hose front to back. So far, nothing is leaking, but I will change the other hoses next weekend because they look old. Didn't have time to do it today.

When I took the broken hose off, I broke the heater valve. Good thing it was a cheap part.

Yeah that's on my list. I mean, the temp. sometimes goes to the half mark, but only when it's really hot out or when I do some mudding.

Update:

Got some D i c k Cepek Mud Country 35x12.5R15 installed today. I was gonna get some KM2's, but they were back ordered on Tirerack. I then did some more research and found that those mud country's are way better. I will try them this weekend. Only the front fenders are trimmed for now, as my mechanic noticed it wasn't rubbing so he left them alone. He told me to try it out like that and that if it rubs a lot when I go off roading, he would fix it for me. Anyways, enough with the bla bla.
