2006 Grand Cherokee SRT8 upper radiator hose

[DanMojo82]

So a little while back my upper radiator hose blew at the plastic elbow that has the 180 degree bend. Luckily it was while I was pulling into the driveway so I didn't get stranded on the freeway like I was 4 minutes earlier. Looking around on some SRT8 forums I was able to see it's a common problem, but other than the stock one I didn't see any real replacement for the 6.1L hose. I can get a stock replacement for aroune $85 bucks (normally $120+) from someone my brother knows who is a parts manager at a dealership. But I'd prefer getting a one piece replacement for it to keep it from happening again.

So any help or recommendations would be a big help from anyone with a SRT8 or a 6.1L Hemi swap. :beer:

Would you be able to get a picture of the hose and what size inside diameter is it?

I'll have to do it tomorrow, but I'll post up some pics and get the info.

It took forever for me to get pictures, I know. And they aren't that great, but they'll get the point as to what hose it is. The point its busted at is the 180 degree plastic bend underneath the air intake, that connects the long portion hose to the short portion hose.

It's number 6 in the diagram
