Today I replaced the aluminum tee w/ a brass PEX tee. The aluminum tee was in perfect shape (3+ years old).

Thanks ZMANN,
I will be replacing that soon. Do you know what that part is called or know where i can find a part #? If not, I'll just run up to the dealer and show them, and get the part along with a new hose....looks like it will be a good time to go ahead and put in the new brass T as well.

Fellas,
I did some more investigating on my coolant leak. I think i found the culprit, take a look at this pics Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - Jayybird's Album: Coolant Leak [snip] I checked my coolant leve and it was 1+" below the MIN line ( i had filled it up to the MIN line with the truck sitting in the same spot a while back). Also, i checked all the coolant filter connections, hoses, degas cap, and I can't find any trace of coolant leaking in those places. So what do yall think? |

Did you use the 1"x1/2"x1" ? Where did you buy it, online or home depot?
1"x1/2"x1" |

Good to hear, on both counts. I don't plan to replace mine until my next coolant change, unless something happens sooner. I would do it ASAP, mine was good and solid until it wasn't and when it wasn't was on the side of the road and $30 worth of coolant covering everything in my engine compartment. |

Maybe I'll do it when I change my filter. I've got about 6 months on the original and it still flows well. Seems my system is a clean one. |
No need to be sorry. I'm glad you found your leak, and appreciate you sharing it with us. Thanks! :-X22

don't get it at the dealer it's expensive and last time someone went to buy one they were selling it as a kit with the hoses ?
I will get a site fore you unless one of the regular parts guys chimes in first |

Lowes. It was quite a bit more expensive than on-line though. It was $7.
1"x1/2"x1" 1) Trip to Lowes - $7.00 2) Getting out of cleaning the house when you wife asked for help - duh!!! 3) Working on your Ford Super Duty - Priceless!!! }> }> }> |
Funny I grabbed a brass pex tee just to have and it was $4.80
AZ price must be less maybe I can resell them for $6 lol |
