Detailed Description
This Dayco radiator coolant hose is engineered as a curved replacement for lower cooling-system connections. The dual inside diameter design and molded shape support proper routing where a formed hose is required, while the EPDM material is suited for coolant exposure and everyday engine-bay temperatures. Fits 2013-2018 Ram 1500, lower, and fits 2019-2021 Ram 1500 Classic, lower. Dayco 72973 is a practical choice when replacing a worn or damaged lower radiator hose on Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic trucks.
Common Uses
- Replacing a cracked or softened lower radiator hose
- Restoring coolant flow after hose swelling or leakage
- Addressing hose routing issues caused by a collapsed or misshaped hose
- Repairing cooling-system service concerns on Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic applications
Installation Notes
Verify hose routing, end diameters, and lower-position fitment before installation. Inspect adjoining fittings and clamps for wear, and confirm the hose follows the original curved path without twisting. Match the application to the listed Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic fitments for proper installation.
