The 24776 part number is part of this line, offering tailored fitment for Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with multiple branch connections to support complex coolant pathways.

Detailed Product Description

This radiator coolant hose is designed with multiple inside diameters to fit various connection points within the cooling system. The two-branch configuration allows for efficient coolant distribution, while the EPDM and plastic construction provides resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant fluids. The centerline length measurements of 18, 44, and 457 mm accommodate different routing needs, ensuring compatibility with Ram 2500 and 3500 models. The absence of a spring means the hose maintains its molded shape, reducing the risk of collapse or deformation under pressure.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or cracked radiator coolant hoses in Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks
• Resolving coolant leaks caused by deteriorated or damaged hoses
• Addressing overheating issues due to restricted coolant flow
• Supporting complex coolant routing with dual-branch design
• Maintaining system integrity with heat and chemical resistant materials

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is cool before beginning installation to avoid injury from hot coolant. Verify the correct orientation of the two branches to match the original hose routing. Use appropriate clamps to secure connections at all ends with inside diameters of 0.6, 1.73, and 1.93 inches. Inspect all connection points for wear or damage before installing the new hose. Properly align the hose to prevent kinks or stress points that could lead to premature failure.
