Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose shape, end diameters, and centerline length against the original part before installation. Confirm upper-position routing on the Ram 2500 or Ram 3500 cooling system, and inspect adjoining clamps, necks, and coolant connections for wear or corrosion before reassembly.
