INSTALLING heater tube f75z-8555-aa
THIS TUBE IS LOCATED FWD AND BEHIND THE WATER PUMP (IN THE BLOCK). THE OLD ONE WAS RUSTED SO I PUSHED IT OUT SO I COULD INSTALL A NEW ONE.
IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL TO LOOK OUT FOR WHEN INSTALLING? SHOULD I USE MAYBE SOME SEALANT BEFORE I PRESS THIS ONE BACK IN?
IT CONNECTS TO THE LONG HEATER TUBE THAT RUNS ALONG THE CENTER OF THE VALLEY.

This is for my sons 99 F-150 4.6 ,the correct ford part # f75z9d428ca , It is the short tube that has a 90 degree bend in it , either the return or supply hose tube for the heater core. Doorman also makes this part so that say it is a part that fails quite a bit...a whole lot better then buy a $3-400 plastic intake replacement
about $25 locally , Dealer wants $30 .
Going to pick it up this afternoon and do the install...I will get a couple of pic for future reference...

Someone may want to save these photos for later use, it is a photobucket account..
Okay here is some pictures of the tool I made, and also a picture of the replacement hose i used for the coolant tube that runs under the intake manifold...btw i just cut the old tube out with a Dremal cutting tool and removed the remaining rusted remnants by hammer and chisel .
1/2 inch ID pipe cut in half , you use this to tap the new By-pass tube into the intake manifold...$1.50 + ten minutes to make. I am holding it next to the new bypass tube..blue ultra sealant was used to insure a seal
Here is a picture of the replace coolant hose/tube that runs under intake, the old tube lays in the same place, be sure to cut some 5/8 hose to use as a anti chaffing where the hose runs against sharp edges.
then this is used after the job is done...
