Help! Coolant hose connects to alternator

[larryg]

Help.
Trying to find the hose that connects through the alternator part number. 10304977.
GM discontinued. No one has one. Any help would be appreciated. For XLR 2005.

I just tried typing GM 10304977 in Google and quite a few sources come up including GM Parts Direct for like around $80.00
Don't know if they actually have it until you order though.
I was actually wondering about that part as I was thinking of changing mine also. I thought it was just a single hose from the radiator to alternator but after seeing the diagram see it is actually an assembly with 2 hoses and a fitting on it.
Doesn't look like a real fun part to change just from looking at that.
Let us know what you find.

Thanks,
Kevin

No luck.

I have contacted all of the gm parts website. Same story part discontinued not available. I am now searching junk yards.

used ones

I just looked and most junk yards seem to cut the hose. I beleive a regular piece of heater hose will work. The fancy double fitting that bolts tot he alternator has clamps on it so you can just install a hose. I will check for size and post
