Yep, its a quick disconnect tool, just make sure you get one that is long enough to hit the tabs in the plastic. Also, Oreillys sells those plastic ends that snap onto the heater core.

A bit of an update fellas. I went to try and buy all the fuel line disconnects. I bought 2 sets. Both ended up not being long enough to work. I ended up just dremeling the old piece off which was a pain in the ***, but oh well.

Also the part I bought from oreilly's doesn't fit so I need to go find a coupler to attach the two for the time being.

The truck lives though! I changed all the valve springs quite literally 3 times after forgetting to change the seals, then no realizing there was an intake and exhaust seal and the two were different, and then finally not being a jackass and putting it back together.

Hmm, they should've had the right ones there. But if you want the bypass piece, behind the counter they SHOULD have a box of gates hose connections. Just ask for a 5/8" coupler.

Same damn thing happen to me. I busted the left side though. Tried to go and get the parts at Advanced but was told it was a dealer item. WTF? Dealer was closed so I just put a coupler for the mean time. Not having a heater is getting annoying though.

Hey fellas. I'm having a bit of an issue with the truck. Everything seems to be running great except for one problem:

I can't get the truck to hold a charge now. I'm not sure if I forgot to connect a ground or what, but I'm having to jump my truck every time I go to start it. It has been sitting for quite some time, but I tried driving it around for a while(5-10 minutes) but without any luck. The battery is right at a year old so it shouldn't be the issue.

Any input is appreciated.

Take the battery out and have it charged/load tested at any local parts store.

Your alternator isn't designed to charge the battery, only to maintain voltage. So just because you jump it and drive it doesn't mean it is charging it enough to start again.
