Re: Plastic Piece Broke last night

to me it looks like an aftermarket flush fitting . one you can connect a garden hose to and flush cooling system . should be able to find one at any parts store or replace entire hose . good luck .

It's nothing that come from factory that's for sure. Even though it would be a good idea but not used very often. I would find out exactly where the rubber hose taps into and plug the hole and eliminate it completely.
