Fleece Performance 98.5-18 Dodge Cummins 34.5in Common Rail/VP44 Coolant Bypass Hose (SS-Braided)

Starting with a stainless steel braided construction, this coolant bypass hose from Fleece Performance is built to last. It's designed to replace the stock rubber hose on your 1998-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, 3500, or 2011-2018 Ram 2500, 3500, specifically for models equipped with either a Common Rail or VP44 injection pump. The primary job of this hose is to reroute coolant flow, ensuring your heater core receives consistent hot coolant even when the thermostat is closed, which means a warmer cabin on those cold days.

The stainless steel braiding offers a significant upgrade over the original rubber hose, providing better resistance to heat and abrasion. This not only contributes to a longer service life but also helps prevent premature failure that can lead to coolant leaks. At 34.5 inches long, it's sized to fit these specific Dodge and Ram trucks, making installation straightforward for those looking to improve their cooling system's performance and reliability.
