08 Tahoe and one of mine just broke. Temp got to 260 before I pulled into the garage at home. It was a real battle to get the plastic tees off but I did. Considered getting Dorman or the like but now thinking OEM style. Just saw the billet metal ones and don't know if that would be best considering they way they install or just buy the plastic stock Chevy ones. Any thoughts to each thanks?
Tìt for tat. Def go with Delco over the Dorman. Billet ones depend if you want to spend that much, that is up to you.
I am running new Delcos. And don't over look the one plastic nipple connector on the one heater hose. That sucker gets brittle and snaps off too. So you got 3 pieces you should be replacing actually.
Thanks for your opinion. I am leaning toward the Delco's now. I'll look at that 3rd piece too.
It's the black piece on the right plugged into the white tee.

Nice ! Always go metal when you can. https://www.gruvenparts.com/shop-by-car/gm-truckwww.tahoeyukonforum.com
That third piece is white like the connector on mine. It is held in with a plastic collar on the end of the factory hose. I can't see a way of releasing it to install a new one. Not sure if that comes with a new hose or not I haven't looked.
I might just bite the bullet and go metal.
