Radiator hoses

[HoosierJeeper]

Should probably replace mine. There's only an upper and a lower right? Are they the same for all KJs (I have the tow package)?

Where is the best place to get them...is Napa brand ok or should I order Gates or Dayco etc from Rockauto?

Thanks.

They seem to be the same for all of the years with 3.7s. Since you have an '05 you don't have an internal trans cooler...so yes only two lines coming out of the radiator: upper and lower.

The only suggestion I can make is do not get them from advanced auto. I had to chop them up to make them actually fit...

I'll check. Looks like Napa ones are made by Gates.

 

[uss2defiant]

looks like he went with mopar.

Napa has worked well for me and all other vehicles I have worked on.

I ordered the Mopar ones from Avondale. I'm at work but can look up the part #s later if needed. As I recall, the lower hose was very hard to find on their website.

I've always used NAPA work great, last as long as I run them

Sounds good. I'll go with the Napa ones so if there's a fitment issue I can just return them in store.

I actually found the dealer to have decent prices on these hoses and they fit right and look to be better quality then some aftermarket ones. This is especially so for the lower hose with weird bends to it.
