Product Details

Dayco 72869 is shaped as a curved upper radiator hose with branched routing and multiple connection diameters to match the cooling system layout on the listed Ram applications. End dimensions include 1 3/4 in., 1 13/16 in., and 1 3/8 in. inside diameters, with corresponding outside diameters of 1 1/32 in., 1 1/8 in., and 1 3/8 in. The hose measures 20 1/2 in. at trunk height and is built without a heat shield or protective sleeve.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

Cracked or split upper radiator hose
Coolant seepage at hose connections
Softening, swelling, or collapse from heat and pressure
Restricted coolant flow from hose deterioration
Incorrect routing after a previous hose replacement

Installation Notes

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and upper-position fitment before installation. Inspect the mating necks, clamps, and surrounding cooling-system components for wear or corrosion, and confirm the hose seats fully at each connection point. For Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 upper radiator hose service, match the original routing to avoid kinks or tension in the hose.

Quality Assurance

Dayco lists this hose to SAE J20R4 Class D-1 and SAE J1684 Type EC standards, supporting its use in cooling-system service for the specified Ram applications. Part number 72869 is built as an application-specific replacement for the listed vehicles.
