  • Softening, swelling, or collapse of the original hose

  • Replacement of a superseded 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500 upper hose application

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify hose routing, end diameters, and clamp condition before installation. Inspect the radiator neck and engine connection points for corrosion or residue, and confirm the hose is seated fully at both ends before refilling and bleeding the cooling system.
