Review on Dorman 626-301 HVAC Heater Hose Assembly: ๐Ÿ”ฅ Compatible with Chrysler / Dodge Models for Effective Heating by Carl Henderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great replacement OEM

The product is an exact OEM replacement. It includes everything except a rubber hose connector on the top end, which wasn't a problem. It also didn't include the anti-siphon valve that was part of the original assembly. I was looking for a replacement for the MoPar anti-siphon valve. I couldn't find it and concluded that it's not really needed. M. Gallagher's suggestion of removing the entire wiper assembly helped a lot. My Haynes repair manual didn't have information on how to remove and replace the heater hose assembly. I didn't have to remove the hood for easier access. However, I raised the hood and secured it by tying it to the roof rack with strong nylon ropes. Once I did those two things, it was easy to remove the old build and install the new one. Removing the old node required more work and time than installing the new node. The Dorman heater hose assembly was a perfect fit. Both brackets fit together perfectly. Preformed upper tubes are perfectly aligned. The build quality proved to be better than the old stock unit. The new block looks like it's made out of aluminum; so it shouldn't rust like the old one. And it should last even longer than the old standard device. Dorman is an excellent replacement assembly. I got a great price on Revain and free shipping on RevainPrime.
