Silicone Hose Kit for Dodge Ram 2500 Ram 3500 (1994-1998) 5.9L

Heavy-Duty Multi-Ply Silicone Radiator Hose Kit for 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500, Ram 3500

What it Does: The Silicone Hose Kit replaces aging factory rubber coolant lines on the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 to maintain steady thermal regulation and eliminate high-pressure coolant blowout risks.

The Stock Dodge Ram 2500, Ram 3500 Factory Hose Degradation

Factory EPDM rubber hoses on the second-generation BR/BE chassis suffer from severe hardening, dry rot, and inner wall delamination after decades of thermal cycling. Subjected to sustained heat soak and pressure spikes from the 5.9L Cummins 6BT and 5.9L Magnum powertrains, stock hoses soften near clamp points, balloon under pressure, and develop micro-fissures that trigger catastrophic coolant loss while under load.

The Engineering Solution

Engineered from premium high-grade 4-ply reinforced silicone, this direct-replacement kit withstands operating temperatures from -65°F up to 500°F and burst pressures exceeding 100 PSI. The smooth internal bore reduces flow resistance across critical cooling circuits, while the oil- and ozone-resistant silicone outer jacket prevents softening and cracking. Molded precisely to OEM routing geometry, each hose installs cleanly onto factory radiator neck fittings without binding, collapsing under suction, or kinking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the BR/BE Ram 2500, Ram 3500?
Yes, this is a direct fit for the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 equipped with the 5.9L engine platform.

Do I need special hose clamps for these silicone lines?
Yes, smooth-band lined hose clamps or constant-tension T-bolt clamps are strongly recommended to prevent standard serrated worm-drive clamps from cutting into the silicone jacket.

The Dodge Heavy-Duty Towing Standard

Engineered to handle severe duty cycles, this silicone cooling upgrade guarantees that your BR/BE workhorse maintains rock-solid thermal reliability, preventing overheating whether you are hauling heavy fifth-wheels or idling through extreme ambient temperatures.
