Review on πŸ”₯ High-Quality HVAC Heater Hose Connector for Cadillac/Chevrolet/GMC Models by Dorman 800-413 by Doug Cardello

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible quality, leaking after 500 miles

Don't buy these Dorman parts, buy OEM. I bought this Dorman part to replace a leaking 2007 Chevy Suburban 5.3 because it was half the price of the part at the Chevy dealer. The part looked fine during installation, but after only 500 miles it started leaking and I saw steam coming out of the connector. Very disappointing. Looking at other reviews it seems that some people like this part but others, like me, face failure. Clearly a quality control issue. If you have plenty of time to try different parts and can afford to fail in the future, then this might be the part for you. If not, go to a GM dealership and buy a genuine GM part. Once I bought a genuine GM part and installed it, I had no more problems.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Something different
