One is white one is black the parts except the hoses and metal part close to the thermostat is OEM replacements that’s why I’m so salty anyway here’s the get to and from work for a week setupView attachment 392111

looks like blew out to due to age, over time the plastic gets soft and brittle from all the hot/cold and then this happens, luckily you weren't 50 miles from home or some place where you would have had to walk out.
if you decide to fix it right these are the oem parts needed

I mean it’s metal it’ll probably outlive the plastic t that needs replacing I’m hoping to find a metal T

Age would be rediculous considering it’s a new part I have a grave feeling the mechanic stress cracked it when messing with my radiator and coolant flush

from the photo to me it looks like the plastic got brittle and broke right where they always break (the weak spot), it looks brownish and discolored like a old one would. if that was a new one that sucks

maybe, but when those things go on even the plastic ones they do not like to come off in one piece anyway.

How did the comparison go?

The comparison was very good for me.

When you change out the Tees, be sure to wear some sort of gloves, as the fire wall insulation is really aggressive and gets into your skin. For me, it took over 2 days for the itching to go away.
