Had my rig a few weeks now and blew a Hole in the hvac coolant Inlet pipe, I have a 2006 model and this part 12564053 is discontinued, and I can’t get it new anywhere across all of America and prob the world so I fixed mine. Wire wheeled it, sprayed it with rust paint did 3 light layers of jb weld strong bond, then finished it off with 3 mil layer of 400 degree 600 psi jb weld for high heat and coating of high heat paint, should be the strongest part of it kind in the world haha, just have too let cure and install and fill coolant will keep everyone posted

 

I wouldn't trust a fixaflat miracle seal stop leak, on a coolant system part. 12564053

 

I didnt have much of a choice, if you know a better solution that would help

 

shes all back together filled with coolant, test ran it around the block then let it sit for 30 min, checked the fluid lvl, all was good, took it for a longer drive and let the vehicle get to temp, seemes to be working fine. I will change the thermostat and get the coolant changed next week before I drive it too much.

 

Yes, click on that blue part number previous post, $12USD plus shipping.

 

Said discontinued, same thing I ran into before, must be one of the only parts u cant get anymore, if u find one in stock ill buy it

 

some info on my rig, she has 350000 km's and still running strong, Ive repainted the front and back lower bumpers back to black, the rear tow hook went all red, and the front tow hooks were only painted red on the U hook, I have a don't tread on me tire cover, cleaned the original rims and installed 32 inch tires, lots of time went into cleaning clay barring and adding a wax coating for protection,vacuuming and plastic restoration I bought this rig from a good friend who is a mechanic after bugging him for months about selling it, he owed me a favor so i got it for 4000$. I dont plan on getting rid of it, if at ever possible I will fix anything it needs. honestly the best ride Ive ever owned. her name is JR and shes part of the family now

I called and got no answer will try again, in the fine print it says if your item is not in stock they order it from the manufacturer. I've called the manufacturer and they don't have it nor make it anymore, its discontinued, and they told me they don't have a solution for a replacement. I have a feeling this will be the same circle, use pay pal to place order then try and get refunded when they cant get it. seems to be the case every time I try to make the purchase they don't actually have it, its a total headache but will keep trying to locate a new one even for back up
