Just bypass the heater and loop it back around into the engine.

so you just pulled the heater core apart!! cant fix without replacing the heater core. im guessing your not A/C sooo take both hoses off the firewall and put a piece of tube in to make a continuous system. then when you get the time to replace the heater core (available at any parts store from 15$-45$) search the forum on a write up of how to do it.

Should say it on your dash below the controls but above radio. If you have the stock ( to your truck) dash bezel.

Oy. I hate it when that happens.... I guess it's a little late now but always cut the hose apart the hose on the nipple before pulling off the hose.
