Perfect fit for our 2002 Buick 3.8L. Install time approx 2 hours only due to both original plastic pieces broke inside housings. Be sure and fully seat new pieces for proper alignment.

I’ve purchased these for every single GM 3800 series 2 and 3 engines I’ve ever worked on/owned. Really wish they would have come like this from the factory. Highly recommend.

The Dorman 47065HP heater hose fittings are a serious upgrade from the flimsy plastic ones that originally came on my Buick. Those plastic fittings seemed to crack if you so much as looked at them wrong, so swapping to metal was like going from a paper straw to a steel pipe—durable and confidence-inspiring.They fit perfectly and have held up well so far, even under the hot-and-cold temper tantrums of an aging engine. That said, just a word of warning: while these are miles better than plastic, when they eventually give out (because nothing lasts forever), the metal fittings might decide to break off inside the motor. And let me tell you, that’s a headache you don’t want on a Monday.Still, I’d take that risk over the plastic ones snapping every other oil change. Just keep an extractor tool handy, and these fittings will be your best friend for quite a while. A solid upgrade with a minor "handle with care" warning!

The elbows are the cat's meow. They are a no-brainer replacement for those leaky plastic original ones. Advice from a mechanic friend he told me to use some Ultra Black RTV on the ends and they slid right in place. (Put the elbows in the tensioner unit first, then install to the engine). If you have broken ends in the holes you can pry them out carefully with a slot screwdriver. Scotchbrite the holes when they are cleared. Also, watch youtube videos first, it will help you a lot !

They fit perfectly, 3 of the 4 ends on my old ones were broken. I had to use a j shaped pick to pull them out. The O rings and broken pieces were a bit tight. One old plastic piece fell down into the engine block and I removed the thermostat and back flushed it to get it to come out.Cleaned the housing with a s/s wire brush and put Vaseline on the rings to keep from damaging them.No leaks, now the cooling system is working perfectly.
