Lower radiator hose
I have called dodge and they said the lower radiator hose has been discontinued. And all of the other parts houses do not harry it. Anybody else having trouble with this? Seems crazy to discontinue it.

dodge doesn't make them. They have just decided not to sell them anymore. At ninety seven dollars and sixtyfour and a half cents or some other rediculouse price they just cant sell enough to make it worth it...to them. Tis why I only shop at the dealer if I have to. The customer does not seem to be part of their equation. My 2 1/2 cents worth.

I picked up both upper and lower for 50 bucks not bad. I'm doing my KDP and its exposed so I might as well change it, haven't since I bought the truck.

I'm just wondering if this is the correct lower hose. It's a Gates #20431.
The ends appear to be the correct size, but the I'd have to cut it to see if it will work.
The angle of the bend is also slightly different and it would have to be bent just enough to slightly collapse.
If I cut it and it doesn't fit, I'll be out $25 and have a useless hose.
If it isn't the right hose, does anyone have the correct part number?
I also need an upper hose, but nobody in town had one in stock. A part number for that would also be greatly appreciated.
The truck is out of service until this gets replaced, and I really need to use it.
Thanks!

Looks like I've got some cutting to do.
Ordered an upper hose from them - $20 with shipping.
The good folks here not only help me to save money, but I'm enjoying the truck more than I ever did before.

Yeah I bought mine at napa as well, I did have to cut the ends to fit , which seems to be normal with every radiator hose I've bought for the trucks... But the NAPA one also had the slinky metal on the inside like the factory one to prevent it from kinking/collapsing?
