Name this piece please so I can buy

I need the part that is orange and comes out of the heater hose connector. It's connected by a quick connect and has the 3 hoses on it but no one seems to know what's it's called so I can order a new one. Thanks in advance everyone.

Re: Name this piece please so I can buy

According to my book it is just called a "pipe #10115710" and is #51 in this diagram. It also says it's no longer available, but when it was it was on sale for $112.75. So more then likely it's going to be an ebay or junk yard find.

Hey thanks. I really appreciate you taking the time to find that for me. Does anyone know of a piece that I could put there instead? Because like I said, that piece is leaking where it's connected to the heater hose connector.

Re: Name this piece please so I can buy

What I have seen done in the past is , the two little hoses go to a heater in the throttle body and can be eliminated (A lot of guys in the V6 forum do this as a mod when they're doing intake mods . It's said to keep the incoming air cooler) . Now if you eliminate the two little hoses , all you really have is one fitting that needs to be screwed into the manifold to bring hot coolant to the heater . If you search around the V6 forum for "throttle body heater delete" your likely to find threads better describing what they do and why (Mine's still in place since it hasn't rusted/leaked , so all I know is what I read about deleting it down in the V6 section) .

Good Luck with it

Re: Name this piece please so I can buy

Are you sure you need Part #51 (shown in the diagram) or Part #50?

Thanks for the reply but actually the fix was really simple. Just took out the existing connection from the block to the heater bypass and then screwed a nipple in to the block and attached a 90 degree elbow and ran coolant hose to the heater bypass. Took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
