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.

Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
