Both are updated designs over the OE parts. If you don't need the bleeder on the inlet hose, you can go with Dorman # 626610 for $12 @ Roackauto.
I inspected on both my 08 Pathfinder and my 11 Xterra.Thupertrooper wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 8:04 pmI had that exact piece fail on mine. I replaced it with the entire assembly hoses and all with the cheapest OEM found on ebay. Holding up great 4 years later. Highly recommended to inspect, mine started as a small leak and should of replaced it once the signs were there.
Keep a couple of small visegrip clamps in your toolkit. There's no reason to ever get stranded by a heater hose unless it fails right at the block. Anyplace upstream, just pinch off the hoses. The truck doesn't need a heater to get you home.
