Fleece Performance 13-24 Dodge 2500/3500 Cummins 6.7L Lower Heater Return Hose
The Fleece Performance Lower Heater Return Hose serves as a direct replacement for the factory hose on 2013-2024 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. Factory plastic hoses often crack under heat and pressure leading to coolant leaks and heater failure. This silicone hose delivers reliable coolant return flow to maintain cabin heat and engine cooling efficiency.
Key Features
- Silicone Construction: Handles temperatures over 350°F and high pressures without degrading for long-term reliability
- Direct Fit Design: Matches OEM shape and connections for bolt-on installation with no cutting or fabrication
- Leak Prevention: Eliminates common failures of stock hoses exposed to diesel engine heat cycles
- Reinforced Layers: Multi-ply reinforcement resists collapse and bursting under coolant system demands
- Black Finish: Professional appearance under the hood with resistance to oil and weathering
Product Notes
- Replaces OEM hose numbers like 68180548AA 68147203AA and equivalents across model years
- Inspect upper heater hose for wear during replacement
- Packaged for protection during transit
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Drain coolant from radiator before removal to avoid spills
- Reuse OEM clamps or upgrade to stainless steel for secure fit
