Poor Design. A Radiator Pressure Cap attached to the Radiator Hose.

[DavidSchuster-eqjl]

Listen, bro, I stand corrected you were right I was looking at it wrong and now I understand better. You got a new radiator hose with a new plastic nipple that is crazy the way they put that together but anyway, please accept my apologies because you definitely know what you’re doing. Have a wonderful day and get that baby. !

U right bad engineering. I've replaced a lot of them for leaking

[fredted]

Replaced one on a Durango and a Dakota that I owned. If you have a vehicle with that style hose and it has been more than 3 years since it was replaced. I would suggest replacing it.

I said that same thing on the other video, that is a 2 piece hose with the pressure cap in the middle, kinda weird design but its what the engineers did. Not all 2.4s have this setup but this gen did

[Krankie_V]

Yep, I've replaced a few of these that have broken in the same way. Too much cheap plastic. I wonder if Dorman makes one with a metal bit where the cap connects? 😂😂😂

I fix this on my 95 V8 Dakota I swapped it out for a 3 row aluminum one for a 71 cuda

[oscarrios]

I saw the video the same way. The way the cap is sitting it looks like the top of the radiator😂😂

JT I would love to hear that engine after all this

[timflannery]

JT is the best 🎉🎉🎉.
All that looks like engineering failure to me.

[Handicapkilla]

Do you install ring and pinion gears, I wanna put 3.92s in my 2012 ram 1500 ?
But I don’t wanna install them need someone with a bunch of experience

[craigr]

Sound more like cousin bookie was trying to mess with you

[meggatron]

Man I done replaced 3 of those hoses on 3 different chrysler cars. Dodge avenger, chrysler 200, and a dodge suv. Anything with the 2.4 engine

[kelsycunningham]

I replaced this assembly on our daughters Journey at 150 thousand miles. Gates product for $64 Canadian. When one piece goes you're better off replacing the entire length.

Designed for repairs by Engineers. How many plastic coolant parts have you changed out?

[harmonford]

It last for a long time but and it's subject to break again.

[PatrickJago]

They have to cut weight on vehicles to meet a certain mpg average across their fleet. Unfortunately plastic is lighter than metal and this is the result.

[jeremyclemente]

I’m sure someone out there makes a non plastic version!!

[reyandy]

That breaks all the time and don't accidentally lean on that!

[MarcS-mpje]

Gotta love all the corner cutting and putting plastic where metal should be. They’ve been doing this ever since I started out fixing vehicles 25+ years ago.

.I just did one of those on my patriot
