  • I have a 2000 Dodge Dakota 4x4 SLT extra cab with 4.7 liter V8. I noticed my battery was getting wet with antifreeze, but I didn't see it spraying through the cracked hose until I revved the engine. It wasn't overheating, but it would have before long. I kept topping off the antifreeze til I figured out the solution. The old hose broke in half at it's connection to the integrated radiator cap when I removed it. If that had come apart while driving, I would have been stranded. Pretty easy fix. Cost about $36 for new hose, plus another $12 for antifreeze.

    Looking at this in 2020 for my 2002 DD 4W Crew Cab, V6. I love this truck! The planned and spontaneous instructions in this video are both educational. Even though I will take my truck to my usual mechanic, having an idea of the problem helps me communicate better with my mechanic. I also get a better idea of how much labor and cost is required. Thank you for this tutorial.

      I was able to do this part myself. I have mechanics do the stuff that requires a lift or more experience and tools.

    I did the same with my truck, if anybody needs to do the same, get better hose clamps.

      I'm getting 2 1/4" metal clamps that has a Phillips head to tighten clamps. I'm doing this same thing to my truck.

      Steven Binz make sure you get the hose on far enough or else it will seep . Had to trim my hose on one side to make it sit better against the radiator .

    Good job,
    Your engine is very clean for the truck's age and mileage. I would've replaced the lower hose and thermostat as well for preventative maintenance, then you know your good for a long time with fresh long-life coolant. Great job explaining the steps & giving advice as to what to watch out for during install.

      I had that done recently. Probably will need to replace radiator some day.
