What is the main purpose of the lower radiator hose?

The lower radiator hose connects the bottom of the radiator to the water pump. It allows cooled coolant to return to the engine to be circulated and cooled again.

How do I know if my lower radiator hose needs replacing?

Look for visible signs of wear such as cracks, swelling, or softness in the hose material. Leaks around the hose connections or a sweet smell of coolant can also indicate a problem.

Does this hose come with new clamps?

This Gates coolant hose does not include new clamps. It is recommended to replace your hose clamps when installing a new hose to ensure a secure seal.

Product Details

When you're tackling a cooling system service on your 2011-2013 Ram 1500 with the 4.7L V8 engine, replacing the lower radiator hose is often a necessary step. This molded coolant hose from Gates is built to fit your truck specifically, ensuring a straightforward replacement for the original part.

Gates uses durable rubber compounds in their hoses, designed to withstand the heat and pressure found in your engine's cooling system. This hose is shaped to match the factory routing, which helps prevent kinks or stress points that could lead to premature failure. It's a well-built part that gets the job done, keeping your coolant flowing where it needs to go.

Make sure to check your clamps and thermostat housing while you're in there, as these are common areas for leaks to develop alongside the hose itself.
