SSSSSS Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I need to replace both the upper and lower radiator hoses on a Shelby Dakota. ALL the parts books (including Rock Auto) are listing the wrong replacement hoses. The lower hose is 1 3/4 inches at the water pump and 1 1/2 inches at the radiator. The upper hose is 1 1/2 inches at the thermostat housing and 1 1/4 inches at the radiator. Does anyone know what hoses will work and fit correctly? What hoses have you used on yours?

SSSSSS Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Got the job done! the upper hose for an 89 Dakota V6 fits after trimming 3 inches off the radiator end. For the lower hose I used a 13 inch flexible radiator hose that is 1 3/4 inches on one end and 1 1/2 inches on the other end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
