I keep a couple of rolls around as I get them from my business. This stuff works really well. You can also find this in smaller rolls which helps in tight spots.

I had this same problem happen to my 2021 a few weeks ago at about 59k miles. Granted, mine chose to blow while racing some guy in a V8 Grand Cherokee on the expressway after worklol.

I had a blast waiting for my husband to meet me at a sketchy park. I managed to make it there just as the sunset was about to begin and everyone was leaving.
It was almost midnight when the tow truck finally showed up.

First real problem I've had 2021 with 52k miles. No warning. Running fine. All of a sudden steam from passenger side and coolant smell. Was just pulling into church. Coolant everywhere under hood. Figured out where leak was by pouring distilled water into coolant recovery tank. Never overheated but would have of course. Hose was a PITA to replace. Got one at oreillys that was similar and cut it down to size. Don't know why they made the hose like this. It hooks to a smaller hose through a reducer. Had to remove 3 clamps to get thing apart. Smaller hose was easier to remove and not much space to work. Prob easier if I took the belt off, but all it all less than an hour job. Just had to find right pliers to get down in there to get clamps off. Not really that bad.
Filled back up with distilled water. Will get proper coolant tomorrow and drain some out and top it back off to get close to 50/50.
Oh and my daughter backed into the light pole at church when we went up there to get jeep and I had to tell the story of how I backed by dads jeep into a tree after I washed it when I was a kid. ........
All good now though. Truck and lightpole fixed. Busy day

This part is a pain in the ass.. busted both on my jeeps, I changed all hoses to 8 ply silicon hoses on both jeeps. The stock hoses are thin and unreliable when out temps are hot and engine running hot. You can find 392 hoses online and happy to send you what I am using as they were custom made for Xtreme garage as we have so many 392 busting them that going forward all the jeeps here in Dubai are switching to these 8 ply silicon hoses. Cost is around 700 usd for the complete hose kit. Never had a busted hose since this for over 13 months

Do you have the part number for a new one?
Which hoses are you seeing that are most prone to failing? From this thread it sounds like the small hose that goes down to the oil cooler and the upper radiator hose are common - or are you seeing others too? Thx -
Thanks, I already ordered that one. I was asking about the upper hose.
I'm pretty sure that part number, 6841171AC, includes the upper hose....I don't know why it's not one piece....
