Thanks for the link, just ordered one. These things have become a hot item.
BTW, CCP# 12955 is a Coca-Cola part no. Food & beverage grade lickable stainless steel.

Yes, thanks! I just ordered one as well.

Thanks, just ordered.

Seems like I should have one in my tool box for future reference. Thanks OP.

Thanks for the info. Just ordered 5 for $9.50.

Just ordered a five-pack, you never know!

Installed stainless T yesterday, fit perfectly!

hmmm so my 2007 appears to have all three lines the same size.... and of course there appears to be a spot on the tee that looks like coolant crud. it's hard to see but there don't appear to be any hose clamps, ugh... any suggestions ?

itomh

I don't think that T is the one they are referring to, see post #9 for location.

drewz06

yeah that's exactly the same location, passenger side right next to the radiator...

edit: apparently I don't have a tee there, I guess the 07 doesn't have one on that line... I can see from the pic that turbo posted there are two tee"s there

Look under the air box by the TB. The one your looking at is not the correct T

drewz06

so I wiggled the other line when I got to work and boom it exploded.... guess the tow company needs to figure how to get it out of the fourth floor parking garage now

matt95

Damn, that stinks.

C6Z06Silverbullet

Are you serious, wow that sucks. Guess you found the one we are talking about then.

drewz06

yep! just glad i found it while parked, instead of cruising down the highway.....

its off to the dealer for a warranty repair, i was wanting to do a coolant flush prior to this, but looks like that will happen now

i didn't see the tee because its on the driver side of the car nearly directly under the intake...

damn plastic fittings, this exact same thing happened on my ford ranger about 6 months ago where the lines go to the heater core....

Technically it saved GM money and lasted till warranty was up...but still...stupid design. I also dont trust the other plastic T but that is a whole other bag of worms.

C6Z06Silverbullet

When you get it back from the dealer just replace the T with the stainless one and you will be good to go.

Good point - another plastic part in the cooling system, it could go bad just like the little t. Looks like the one in the picture may be trying to leak. Has anyone replaced it without replacing the whole hose assy?

Apocolipse

1 plus side is that large T looks to be the same size hoses all around - much easier to find a replacement.

drewz06

so it turns out the other larger tee was about to snap as well.... i believe thats a molded 3 way hose but i can't find the gm part on any of the dealer sites....

its getting replaced today, ill get the part number for the larger 3 way hose and provide an update ( think its the heater core hose)
