Product Details

This heater hose repair kit is built for vehicles that use a plastic coolant hose connector at the heater hose connection point. Dorman 47298 provides a serviceable replacement for the connector itself, making it a practical repair path when the original part cracks, leaks, or separates. For owners searching for a heater hose repair kit for a 2005-2023 Chrysler 300 upper hose connection or a 2011-2023 Dodge Charger upper coolant hose connector, this part offers a targeted repair solution. It also applies to 2008-2023 Dodge Challenger upper applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Coolant leakage at the heater hose connector
• Cracked or broken original plastic hose fitting
• Loss of coolant from the upper hose connection
• Need to replace only the failed connector instead of the full hose assembly
• Repeated failure of the factory plastic coolant hose connector

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the surrounding heater hose, clamps, and sealing surfaces before installation. Drain coolant as needed, remove the failed connector, and verify the replacement seats correctly on the upper hose connection. Confirm fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering; Dorman 47298 is listed for upper applications on the vehicles shown above.

Quality Assurance

Dorman positions this OE FIX connector as a durable replacement for the original plastic part, using aluminum construction to improve service life at the repair point.
