Dorman 924-251 Front Windshield Washer Hose

This front washer hose fits many years Chevrolet Silverado - mine is a 2002. It runs from the washer reservoir to a connection just past the battery on the fender. Because it comes bent up to fit inside a standard box for shipping, you will need to adjust the over-bends. They need to be straightened a little to approximately 90 degree bends. This can be verified by looking at the old part before it is removed. Some people have mentioned using hot water or a heat gun to soften the bends. For simplicity, I used a candle in a glass jar. I held the over-bent sections about two inches above the flame and moved the part back and forth and rotated it as much as I could until it started to loosen each bend. I stopped when the bends were at approximately 90 degrees. Check online for advice on the labor to replace the part. I had dropped the part into place for rough alignment. I discovered that I was able to reach the elbow hose connection at the reservoir pump from under the truck by reaching up behind the bumper. I used a fork-shaped panel removal tool to pry the hose off, although a screwdriver may have also worked. My arm got soaked as the washer fluid started pouring out, but I was prepared for that and I pressed on the new elbow quickly. I may not have actually needed to remove the battery for this job, but I had taken it out already. Other purchasers have noted that the part did not last long for them. I just installed mine today. I will updated my review if I have any problems. Update 5/6/22: Since installing this hose last year, I have had trouble with it a few times. The rubber tip on this hose does not have a strong grip on the washer tank pump. It sometimes holds for a short spritz of washer fluid on the WS, but will likely pop off with a prolonged blast and leak all the fluid onto the ground. I’m thinking of tightening it with a small zip tie. 3/18/24: Small zip ties on both ends of the hose worked for almost a year as the truck sat parked most of the time. When I needed the washer, the hose popped off the reservoir pump and will not reliably stay attached. Can’t find an AC Delco brand, so I will reorder this hose in hopes that they have improved the design since 2021.

Contrary to the negative reviews, this is what you need. It comes bent up pretty tight in the box so it's easy to assume it's the wrong part. Give it some flexing (I didn't need to soak it in hot water or use a lighter) and it should expand out to its proper size and shape. It is hard tubing but won't snap if you flex it. I've included a photo of what it looks like after prep, install, and removal (as I had to take it out to install a new pump). Overall the install is a bit annoying (requires removing the battery tray and some clips) but it's well worth it if you have a blown wiper line.

Like the other reviews, the hose is crammed in a box so it is a bit out of shape. I didn't even heat up and reform mine. The hose is so flexible there was no need. Getting to the hose connection on the reservoir pump was a pain in the you know what, but I got it removed and the new hose on. The hose did fix my leak. 06 Tahoe LT

Perfect fit. Kept popping off the washer pump though but that was easily fixed with a hose clamp.

Works great, old one was drying out and broken. Plastic line with rubber elbow and fitting connects the washer pump to the line on the inside of driver fender. Replaced it with a leaking washer pump. great product. Thanks Amazon for carrying it at a reasonable price.

Received this for my 03 Silverado 1500. Installed with no issues. Keep in mind this only goes from the washer tank to the fuse box area. If you want the section that runs the rest of the way you will have to buy separately. Otherwise, no issues.

Fits perfectly and it's the correct fit I just hit it with a heat gun and pulled the curves out of it a bit in the middle so they were 90 degrees back to back. For those who say it's wrong it's not just straighten out the elbows a little and it's perfect

Great replacement and way cheaper than OEM.

Perfect fit. Works great. Quick shipping.

Exactly as advertised. Windshield washer works great again.

Simple product, fit as promised, delivered quickly.

The tube is a hard plastic and to ship, is folded and looks bad. However with some gentle persuasion it installed well and works fine.

Perfect fit
