Hoses & Clamps

There are a number of factory-issued hoses that came with your Jeep or RAM vehicle, and for good reason. They carry fluids to a variety of vehicle components. This keeps them cool, lubricated, and well fueled for the journey ahead.

The Types of Mopar® Hoses

Your fuel hose connects your gas tank to your engine.

Brake hoses send brake fluid to your brake calipers, which causes them to press against the brake rotors and slow your wheels and tires.

Radiator hoses route coolant from the radiator to the engine and back again, which means they play a vital role in keeping your engine temperature manageable.

Heater core hoses, on the other hand, sends hot coolant through the HVAC system to warm your passenger space on a cold day.

Then there are the clamps that tighten these hoses in place to the flanges. Without them, the pressure of the fluids running through could blow the hoses completely off of the flange. This could result in costly and damaging leaks.

What Are the Signs of Faulty Mopar® Hoses?

While hoses can last up to ten years, rubber does weaken with age. Repeated exposure to hot liquids also takes a toll. If you notice that your hose is cracked or splitting, it's time to replace it. If you notice leaking fluid and your hoses are in good shape, you may need to switch to a new clamp. Fortunately, the solutions you need are right at hand.
