Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the hose routing, end diameters, and tee-to-reservoir position before installation on your Dodge Ram 1500. Inspect adjoining clamps, fittings, and plastic connectors for wear or damage, and confirm the cooling system is fully drained and refilled according to service procedures after replacement. Match the molded shape to the original hose path to avoid kinks or tension at the connections.
