Stop being cheap, Mark. Buy the correct parts and do this correctly.
It's less about being cheap although yes I wouldn't mind saving the money, it's more about the timing and how quickly I can get those parts.

So.... I have the 3 pieces listed in the previous post.

This post shows 3 hoses being replaced by the 2 longer ones... where does the new short hose go? is it the piece numbered 87245E in the diagram?

Mark: it goes from the valve to the firewall heater core outlet pipe.

Exactly as the picture shows.

Look at the picture, look at the valve, look at your truck. It’s should be very obvious when you do that.

Thank you for conferring that.
 
Out there staring at this and I have a question about the left side arrangement.

It looks like the bottom end of the "old" (purple) and "new" (yellow) hoses attach to the block in different places. Is that true? and if so I would imagine I need to either plug the hole in the block?

Or am I just not understanding how these work?

This is the fitting whose hose runs to the hard line for the rear heater.

This is the current hose that runs from the yellow circled fitting (in the picture just above this) to the heater valve.

The purple is the pound in bung I spoke of (i think in head). You either must cap that, or remove bung and put the right size freeze plug in its place.
The yellow is the standard heater line used in all hz/hdt models.

I don’t have rear heater in current truck so I cannot take a worthy image here.
 
that sounds like a bigger project than I can handle in the next few days, before a trip I have planned. So, as a stop Gap situation in order to remove the rear heater itself can I plug the two rubber lines going into the heater itself? Should I instead join them together?

If I were to cap it is there a known solution for that cap?

1. Which is the INPUT and which the OUTPUT from the rear heater?

2. Why is it not advisable to just plug the rear heater's input hose where it meets the hard line on the firewall? (until I get around to dealing with the "extra' block output (input? - see question #1)

I'm just thinking simple/fast fix. join the inlet/outlet so you have flow, unless you understand better than I do how the cooling flows. maybe someone smarter than me will chime in.
 
That is my question, is there any reason I can't just plug the lines rather than connecting the two?
It is better to have flow so you do not end up with any "dead ends" where coolant just sits, building up deposits. Join the 2 ends after removing as much of the rear heater lines as possible, removing potential points of failure. Best of luck! :cheers:
