Busted coolant hose (little one under alternator)

[dgerb]

i went out and bought some that day, and ordered a replacement part and silicon hose, i think ill do a quality job on cutting the si hose and swap it out on the spare part so its a more long term fix if it happens

I'm going to do the same thing. I bought the 90 degree 5/8" silicon hose from Napa and the OEM hose(648117AC) from a mopar distributer. Going to replace the "problem" 90 degree section with silicon on the new OEM hose. I wondering if anyone has had the smaller hose section from the oil filter housing blow. I guess I could replace that with silicon also.

I know Jeep is on this site they have input and comments on other posts why nothing on this subject? It’s obviously a design issue. I’m not thrilled. Coolant hose ,steering issues,transfer case clutches. Some power assist on steering ,rock track transfer case with a Dana 60 or bigger with 2wd none of this auto4by. We would have been better off. A nice 3-3.5 inch lift with 74 weld portals from the factory. That would work

go the replacement part in and swapped on the silicone hose, hopefully ill never have to use it.

(yes I know the logo is upside down, no I cant swap it around its on there too tightly, yes its going to bug me for the rest of time)

Im sure this is already answered here but I have been unable to find it. Where did you get the short 90 degree part?

I did swap mine out keeping the old one for emergency repairs. Maybe I should just buy another new one. My old one only has 12 thousand miles on it.

You don’t really want to do this out on the trail it’s a bit messy

I certainly get that but I am going to have switch a new one in every couple of years? Thinking about reinforcing the new one with the self sealing tape that has been mentioned here. I would probably do the same thing to the original then keep it in the Jeep.
