    Default Heater install question... Square drive bolt in engine block?

    Finally starting on the heater install and have a question on where to install the "hot" hose. I have a sensor on the top where Al installed his so am thinking the location Jester shows in the pics here would make the most sense.

    The problem is that the bolt at that location has a square head and nothing in my tool box fits it. I thought just a 3/8" extension would work but it's a little too big. Ideas? Maybe they did that so guys like me don't remove it?

    My '02 factory install was above the starter on the block. That appears where Jester's is located at. It is just a block plug.
    My '10 was on the manifold next to the thermostat housing.

    Do you happen to have a pic of the 2010 location? I'm good with the dipstick location if I can figure out how to get the plug out.

    Thanks, but that's the Al I was referring to. I've got a sensor in that location.

    I added 2 garden hose couplers so you can winterize easier. What about the other port on top?

    Also a sensor... I like the hose coupler idea!

    Dan, I used this splitter that came with the kit and added the t stat there and a shutoff valve.

    Thanks, Joe! That should work great, assuming I can find the splitter.
