My 2007 Uplander is leaking from the heater IL/OL pipe. The part is discontinued and I can't find one at the junk yard. PN 12603835.

Anyone have a suggestion for how to repair this or an alternative source for the pipe? I do not want to scrap the vehicle for a $50 pipe!

I had the same problem, had to cut the bad out and replace with heater hose.

is that a metal one?
junkyard, weld it, replace with rubber

i found it at the junkyard after mine developed a pin hole.
replace the other metal line while you are at it. it is actually available at most part stores. the clamps needed to go too, they seemed fine until i flushed the system with a garden hose and then the leak was readily apparent.

the T that goes to the engine oil cooler is metal too... it likely needs replacing at the same time. i used a $5 dorman T measuring 5/8 x 5/8 x 3/8 then a molded hose from advance auto for $10 where, if you snipped it in half it would replicate the two pieces of 5/8 needed to attach to the T... let me know if you need the part numbers. saved $15+ and the long wait for the delco T and hose...
