Hi everybody,
This is for 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 - Inline 6
I have a coolant leak in one of the hoses, I am not sure but I think it is called bypass hose, I took a picture of it. Do I need to replace all connected hoses or is there a way to replace just the ruptured one. How do I go about replacing it.
Also I'd appreciate where to buy the replacement parts.
Thank you

bset way is to cut it and put one of these in and put a new pc of hose on and run to fitting

Gee oh Dee

You should be able to just replace the one hose.

Thanks for the reply,
Engine side has a clamp I can remove that. I don't know how to replace the other end. Do I need any tool to do that?

Should just be a hose clamp. If it's acrimp fitting you cut it off at the metal pipe and reinstal with a clamp. That is 1 of the Heater hoses. I'd replace all of hoses. If 1 is bad the rest are not far behind. The hoses can be purchased at any autoparts supplier.

Might need a channel lock plier on the pump end sometimes they're stuck-on.

x2 don't squeeze to tight... you don't want to crack the tstat housing. also be careful with removing the hose on the other end. Sometimes the vacuum valve for the heater are plastic and brittle.

Good advice from 93gc40. Hoses are inexpensive and there are only a few of them.

Often overlooked and a blown hose can create an overheat and the need for a tow and along with that, head gasket or head damage.

Everyone should ensure that their hoses are relatively fresh! Money well spent.
