I haven't posted in awhile but having problem finding a upper radiator hose for my '05...damn thing blew a hole just as I got to work last week. ..sprayed anti-freeze like old faithful on the engine and inside the hood...wonderful. Right away called my friendly dealership...sorry sir but that OEM part (05290804AB) has been discontinued since 2017...more wonderful news.
So called Advance Auto parts...sure we have one...be here next day. Ok I said...next day matched it up to the old one...no dice...returned. Found one on ebay and gave them my vin number to be sure...took four days later but again no dice...diameter too small and the bend is wrong. The Viper store is out of stock but I see JMB has the hard pipe for $105-115...never figured it would be this hard to find a simple hose.
