💧 Dorman 56399 Engine Water Pump Inlet Tube for Dodge: Exceptional Quality for Optimal Performance Review

The coating on the existing pipe was peeling off causing the o-ring to not fit properly so this was an inexpensive way to fix the problem.

Make sure you have a larger ring as the ring provided is too small and will leak. Even with some sealant you will see that it is too small. A larger ring will fix this.

Good Substitute. The o-ring broke pretty easily and had to get another one. I found an o-ring that fits perfectly. Use some rtv to lubricate and seal well. Otherwise it may leak.

I purchased this part to replace an old rusty part as preventative maintenance on a water pump change and it fits just as well as it came from the factory. I had no problems with it at all. I would highly recommend this.

I have a new water pump so I replaced this tube as well as the old one was rusty. After installation, this pipe started leaking. When I drained and removed the cooling system, the ring was split. I replaced the o-ring with a better one from an auto parts store and so far it's holding up. Maybe it was just a bad one that got QC

I replaced this bypass tube less than two years ago when I installed a new water pump on my Dodge B3500 van and it was almost two before that been in use for years. started leaking through the o-ring.

Mine is rusty and the o-ring is worn out. It's not leaking yet but since we made the intake manifold and removed it and noticed rust etc we replaced it. I think this Dorman role is good. Dorman has been characterized by high quality for many years. However, I recently had a quality issue with the Dorman EGR reading. (It never worked) I'm sure I'll get 5 more horsepower by replacing it. (I'm just having fun)

I bought this item to replace my old part ; But when I put it on the power steering pump, the hoses got in the way. I removed the P/S pump to try and get it to work, but the useless end of the hose with the clamp is too close to the P/S lines and is actually rubbing against each other. I didn't want to overheat the P/S lines with the heat of the waterlines. So I reused my old pipe, cleaned all the rusted spots, sanded, sanded all the spots, rinsed very well, allowed to air dry and coated with…
