HPS Silicone Heater Hoses Kit

2002–2010 Dodge Ram 8.3L SRT10

Part #: 57-1498H-BLK

Overview

The HPS Silicone Heater Hoses Kit is a premium replacement solution designed specifically for Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 8.3L SRT10 engine from 2002 to 2010. This kit addresses common issues associated with OEM heater coolant hoses, such as cracking, collapsing, and coolant leaks that can lead to engine overheating. Whether you are restoring your vehicle or upgrading for enhanced durability, these hoses provide a reliable and long-lasting alternative engineered to withstand the demanding conditions under the hood.

Ideal for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, the HPS silicone hoses offer superior heat resistance and flexibility, ensuring a perfect fit with the correct bends and curves tailored to the Dodge Ram’s cooling system. This kit helps maintain optimal engine temperature and prevents costly repairs caused by coolant system failures.

Key Features

Engineered for durability and performance, the HPS Silicone Heater Hoses Kit includes several advanced features that set it apart from standard rubber hoses:

• Constructed from premium grade, high-heat resistant 3-ply reinforced silicone for maximum durability
• Designed with precise bends and curves to ensure perfect OEM fitment without modifications
• Includes 100% stainless steel non-perforated embossed hose clamps that secure hoses without damaging the silicone
• Prevents coolant leaks and engine overheating caused by cracked or collapsed OEM hoses
• Race-proven design engineered for prolonged exposure to high under-hood temperatures and coolant heat
• Maximum temperature rating of 350°F (177°C) for reliable performance in extreme conditions
• Significantly lower risk of hose failure compared to standard EPDM rubber hoses
• Recommended regular coolant level checks due to higher water permeation rate compared to rubber hoses

Construction & Design

The hoses are crafted from a high-quality silicone compound reinforced with three layers of fabric to provide exceptional strength and flexibility. This multi-ply construction allows the hoses to resist cracking, collapsing, and deformation even under extreme heat and pressure. The silicone material also offers superior resistance to ozone, UV rays, and chemical exposure, extending the service life far beyond that of traditional rubber hoses.

Each hose is molded with exact bends and contours to match the Dodge Ram 8.3L SRT10’s heater coolant routing, ensuring a seamless installation without the need for cutting or reshaping. The included stainless steel clamps are embossed and non-perforated, which prevents damage to the silicone surface and maintains a secure, leak-free seal.

Installation & Fitment

The HPS Silicone Heater Hoses Kit is designed as a direct replacement for the original heater coolant hoses on Dodge Ram trucks with the 8.3L SRT10 engine from 2002 through 2010. Installation is straightforward and requires no special modifications or tools beyond standard hose clamp pliers. The kit’s precise fitment and included hardware simplify the replacement process, making it accessible for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to inspect and maintain coolant levels regularly, especially when using silicone hoses in daily driven vehicles due to their higher water permeation rate compared to rubber hoses.

What's Included

• Set of high-heat resistant 3-ply reinforced silicone heater hoses with OEM-correct bends
• 100% stainless steel non-perforated embossed hose clamps for secure installation
• Installation instructions and fitment guide

Ideal For
