I need to know if it is possible to by-pass my heater core. It is a 1996 3100. It will just be a temporary fix till I get the time to fix it.

Thanks,
Jason

yes you can bypass it. go to autozone, advanced auto, napa, or similar parts store and get a U shaped heater core hose that is the same size as the heater core hose on your car i forget the size its like 5/8 or 1/2 or something. (take one off to match it or measure the piping) and a couple of hose clamps because the ones that are on there are a pain to take off and put back on, in the area they are in. have fun and good luck.

Thank you, That's exactly what I needed.The drain that my antifreeze is leaking through is next to the a/c piping right? Then the heater core hoses are closer to the driver side...

Thanks,
Jason

Winter is right around the corner. Why not just change the heater core?

yah if you are going to get up in there, just replace it, i did it, cost me 60 bucks for a new one from gm.. that's canadian too.. just replace it you'll save time and money..

Are the replacement ones from GM still the same cruddy design with the plastic inlet and outlet pipes?

hey just call car quest i think its like $42.00 and the inlet and outlet line are all metel so you dont have to worry about breaking them.

That heater core is a pain in the ###.  Good luck with that.
