Upper rasiator hose

[vancouver-gts]

Had my GTS out for a spirited drive in the country on Sunday. I've noticed antifreeze smell when getting on the go pedal, so after investigating under the hood, found a small cut on top of the hose, close to the hose clamp [ an inch from it ] near the thermostat end. Upon inspection I found a 1/2" long cut lengthwise inside right where the small cut on the outside was. Under hard acceleration pressure build up pushing coolant through the small cut. Refilled the reservoir with water and took it easy going home, no problem with it driving like grandma. Cut 2 1/2 inch off for temporary fix until I get a new hose.What should I expect to pay for this hose [ Viper tax added, ] or there's a crossover part# for a Chrysler minivan,LOL.Thanks

Sorry for the misspell in the thread title. Why can't I edit the title here?

What's a rasiator? Anyway you can get a silicone one from the VPA .

When I bought the top radiator hose from Dodge, it was not formed correctly. That was 2-3 years ago. I have read the same complaint from others. I took it back and bought a Silicone hose from JonB instead.

I purchased the Roe upper (has the bleeder). I have been happy with them.
