    That's an expensive temperature sending unit. I have a used one I'll sell for 1/2 that price. Genuine GM. WOW.

    M-1009 heater hoses and thermostat

    Not sure if you can see my heater hose routing. But get them out from under the battery box. That is a poor place for them. It carries over from the civilian models and was just the old standard. This way they are better supported and seem to set nicer.

    Yes one is 5/8" and one is 3/4" you can see the difference on the heater core connections. The 3/4" goes to fitting on the right passengers side of the radiator and the 5/8" goes to the coolant crossover manifold connection. Always use new clamps. Avoid trouble. Take Care and Be Safe.

    That's what these tools are made for. Once you use them you will never go back to yanking and cutting. Makes stubborn hoses a breeze. Be Safe...

    Let me clarify. Take the 2 M10 15MM hex bolts out of the thermostat housing crossover first with an impact. that always makes it easier and I never tore the threads out with an impact. That shock breaks them loose easier and without taking the threads out and breaking the manifold. Be Safe.

    I always buy 3 ft of 5/8" and 3 ft of 3/4" and the 190* thermostat. I also always use an impact to take the thermostat housing off and while in there I change the coolant cross over gaskets on the coolant manifold. Do all 4 2 in the front of the heads and 2 in the back of the heads. Good Luck.
