If you’re looking to upgrade your cooling system, the HPS high temperature 3-ply reinforced silicone radiator hose kit (part number 57-1818) is a solid choice. I’ve had my fair share of experiences with OEM rubber hoses, and let me tell you, they just don’t hold up like these silicone beauties. With a max temperature rating of 350°F, these hoses are built to withstand the heat, making them perfect for those of us who push our rides to the limit.
This kit comes with everything you need to get started: the HPS performance reinforced silicone hoses and some top-notch 100% stainless steel non-perforated embossed hose clamps. Trust me, those clamps are a game changer. They grip without cutting into the silicone, which is a big deal when you're trying to avoid leaks and ensure a tight fit.
What’s really cool about these hoses is how they’re designed. They feature the right bends and curves to fit your setup perfectly, eliminating the guesswork that often comes with aftermarket parts. Whether you’re replacing worn-out OEM hoses or just looking to upgrade, these hoses fit like a glove. And if you’ve ever dealt with cracked or damaged hoses, you know how crucial it is to prevent coolant leaks and overheating issues. These hoses are engineered to take the heat—literally.
Now, let’s talk specs. The material is high-temperature reinforced silicone, which is a step up from standard rubber. You can choose from black, blue, or red, so you can match your engine bay aesthetics. Plus, they come with a two-year warranty, which gives you some peace of mind.
As for fitment, this kit is compatible with a wide range of Dodge Ram models from 2009 to 2020. Whether you’ve got a Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500 with a 5.7L V8 engine, you’re covered. Just double-check the specifics for your model to ensure a perfect fit.
One last thing to keep in mind: silicone hoses have a higher water permeation rate compared to standard EPDM rubber hoses. So, if you’re using these on a daily driver, make it a habit to check your coolant levels regularly. It’s a small price to pay for the performance and reliability you get with these hoses.
In short, if you want to keep your engine cool and running smoothly, the HPS silicone radiator hose kit is worth considering. It’s a smart upgrade that pays off in durability and performance.
