Lower intake manifold coolant
I have a 2000 F150 with 215000 miles and am having a problem with the metal coolant lines. The most recent one to fail is on driver's side, a 90 degree bend, going into the lower intake manifold. I believe this part is pressed in. I have tried to JB Weld it with no luck as the leak is at the very bottom where the crease is. Has anyone replaced this part and how? Thanks for your help. James

Quick fix: find the line going into the aluminum intake and the line going out of the aluminum intake. Connect the two together with a small nipple. (i.e. bypass the intake)
I drove my 2000 for a long time in that configuration and never noticed any difference in anything.
to the two small metal fittings
EDIT : I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. I am referring to the 2 small metal fittings (approx 1/4 " dia if memory serves me correctly) that attach two coolant lines to the aluminum intake.
Here is a different thread on the subject I am talking about. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...lant-leak.html
