capping off heater hoses

I ran the rubber plug for 2 years and I replaced the plug at least 5 times. You can find the plugs in an assortment package in the "Help" section at Autozone, and the package comes with 2 in that size. Keep the other in the glove box with a clamp for a spare.

Over the winter I tried tapping the water pump for a plug and cracked it so I had to buy another. I got it on the 2nd try but I was nervous. As mentioned before there isn't much meat to it.
