Dorman - OE Solutions HVAC Heater Hose Assembly P/N:626-626
Keep hot coolant flowing to your cabin heater with the Dorman heater hose assembly, part number 626-555. This OE FIX replacement swaps the original's crack-prone plastic Y-connector for an aluminum one. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2001-2003 Dodge Durango. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
Original equipment heater hose assemblies often fail when the plastic Y-connector cracks. Dorman redesigned this assembly with an upgraded aluminum Y-connector, intended to help avoid a repeat of that failure.
A heater hose assembly carries engine coolant between the engine and the heater core that warms the cabin. Signs that a 2001-2003 Dodge Durango heater hose may need replacing include coolant leaks or drips, a cracked Y-connector, a dropping coolant level, or weak heat from the vents. Other cooling-system parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing.
