Bypassing Heater Core??
What hoses are looped when doing this? The two behind the strut bar going to the firewall on drivers side?

2 hoses at firewall. Remove and loop.
Make sure its a clean loop and no kinks.
Do not delete any coolant hoses going to throttle body if any.

Well because we live in Cali and don't use the heaters here. Also I hear replacing the heater core is costly because the dash has to be removed. This is more of a temp fix so he can drive it.

I had the same issue. Picked up a 5/8 90 degree angle coupler and pulled out the hoses and paired them together with that and replaced the hose clamps. all good now no need to buy more hosing or anything
