Yes. With the option of having the back heat.
This part does not appear to fit an Envoy in my illustration. Sorry
One is for the feed line, and the other is for the return line. They're color-coordinated and should be replaced with a piece of the same hue. I'm guessing you're curious about the differences between the black one and the one displayed.
Yes, it will fit a suburban from 2003. This is the model of Suburban I have, and it's what I used. It's perfect; as I mentioned in my previous note, removing the old pieces is a little difficult, but it's doable.

It is not prone to leaking. This is an excellent substitute. Difficulty of the task: Moderate Five stars out of ten. This is the WHITE connector, not the BLACK connector, which is for the return line from the Suburban's two heater cores to the engine. Remove the junction closest to the front of the car first (which is made easier by using the plastic collar tool I bought at an auto parts store), then the one closest to the firewall, and finally the smaller line that goes down to the rear heater core aluminum pipe. Replace in reverse order. It comes off relatively easily if you use a pair of "hose clamp pliers" to really pinch the ears on the firewall junction and wiggle it forward and back while compressing the ears. It's a perfect fit with no leaks. I used a small amount of silicone grease (which is safe for both plastic and rubber O-rings) to seal the joints. rings) to ensure that the connection is secure and leak-proof. proof. Also, don't give up if you buy the part but can't get it off. You can take the part to a professional mechanic and have him swap it out for you. out.
Tip: While you're doing this, you'll be lying across the engine. To keep engine parts from being damaged, I constructed a makeshift belly-pan. I built a board that ran from the engine's left to right sides so I could get up close and personal with that dangling firewall connection, which has almost no room to work with. br>Comment: br> This connection joins three pipe sizes using a connection geometry that is difficult to disassemble and reassemble. assemble. I'm pretty sure the Geneva Convention made unnecessarily cruel designs like this illegal, and nobody uses them anymore except GM and North Korea, both of whom I believe refused to sign the treaty.
I bought a Dorman version, which was a waste of money because it leaked within the first week. There are no leaks with these!.
The leak has been fixed. The fit is excellent, and the installation is simple. It replaced the old leak and fixed it. br>br>To be on the safe side, I replaced both. They differ slightly in terms of P/N.
It was a perfect match. br>Thank you very much.
Job done. On my 2003 Cadillac Escalade 6, I quickly installed this. I used a zip tie to release the tabs on the old part's locking sleeves because I didn't have the appropriate removal tool. There is a YouTube video that demonstrates how to do it. Because the tee didn't come with one, I had to repurpose an old locking sleeve (smooth end in photo). After installation, the new unit had no leaks. Job done.
It has a nice appearance and is similar to the previous one. I'm afraid I won't be able to locate a genuine hose attachment.
It was a perfect fit for my 2006 Chevy Tahoe. 2- The price was reasonable. The repair was completed in a timely manner thanks to same-day shipping.
