Heater Hose Routing for 5.0L
Reversing the heater core hoses ( 8 ) AT THE HEATER CORE will not cause any problems, and may help remove debris from the heater core.
To bypass a leaking heater core, disconnect the supply (lower, hot) hose at the engine and the outlet (with T) at the heater core. Loop the hose still attached to the engine back to the open nipple. Set the remaining hose out of the way.
