[woytovich]

I've read the older threads using NLA Toyota hose... is there a known "good" solution for the a rear heater bypass "kit" with currently available parts?

I removed the tee on the firewall, ran a straight hose past it and used a bspt pipe plug on the drivers side port on the motor.

As clean as I could make it. All found via stuff searched on here.

1. That doesn't point at a single item.
2. I think that is the discontinued part...

Use this thread as a guide. Very simple to bypass it, but the oem bits are nla. I'll scrounge around and see if I can find anything for the water hose from lower hardline to heater core on firewall.

Rear heater bypass hose

Today I attempted to remove a bypass of the rear heater line that runs behind the engine. The PO had installed a flush tee that was leaking and had to go. Since most of the hoses needed to properly fix the system are NLA I just decided to remove the rear heater completely. My question is...

I would need to sit down with a diagram and in front of my truck to be sure. It's been awhile since I researched it.

87246A in the below diagram matches the one I found on eBay from Australia.

Seeing if the AU ebay guy will ship... probably going to be too $$$

 

[Randy88FJ62]

I've seen their shipping costs for small axle tools such as the 54mm socket or the rear FZJ80 three pinned spanner socket. They weren't crazy.

I'll let you know if/when they respond

Do you need just the rubber lines or the hard lines or something else?

I am looking for whatever is needed to bypass the rear heater... the plug info is posted out there, the hose seems to be the issue... (it it correct that this is just a hose + plug solution?
I guess another solution is just to loop the out & back hoses that run to the rear heater together...

 

[emac]

If you are just looking to bypass the rear heater, just get a U shaped heater hose from NAPA or gates and hook the two hard lines together under the car where they go into the heater. Gates makes a lot of various angled hoses that are cut to fit. That is what I used for the hoses that where NLA.

 

[woytovich]

Well I DO want to eliminate as much of the rear heater system as possible - the idea is to get rid of an unused item and minimize potential problems with leaks. I'd like to keep the bypass as close tot he source as possible.

This might be the better pricing...

autopartsonline2007 ebay link shipping: "shipping to the US will be $41.35"... so the one above, if accurate, is way cheaper.

 

[HemiAlex]

I used a straight piece of heater hose. I can take pictures tomorrow.

 

[woytovich]

That would be great, thanks.
