I would think the big hose goes to the radiator. Any other small hoses? My Jeep has the 3.6. When my son comes home with it I’ll take a look

Thanks

Thanks

I only see the one small hose and the big radiator hose as well. Not sure if the small one is outlet or inlet because it goes underneath. The skid plate blocks my view

Thanks Theblet, I had no pictures for him.

If you go to the firewall where the heater hoses connect to heater core inlet kit follow them back to the first section of rubber hose. It makes zero difference when heater hose the valve goes on

Thanks @HSKR R/T Try it on this hose and see how it works.

I mean, that's not where I said.

Oh sorry i misunderstood. So you’re saying to follow the heater hose back from the firewall to see where it originates?

You can put the valve anywhere in the line where it's just the rubber hose. Just have to cut the rubber hose. Which means either hose coming off the firewall

Here is a picture shared by someone else in the "what did you do to your RAM" thread. Shows where he put the valve, but it could have been installed in either of the hoses in the picture that are for the heater core

Yes I see. That’s how I did my hack on my hemi. The question is where to do it on the pentastar 3.6.

The heater hoses are in the same spot on the firewall. Shouldn't be hard to figure out

These are the two hoses coming off the heater core on my 2022 3.6. The top arrow shows the hose going into water pump behind MGU. The bottom arrow shows the hose connecting to a double tee in the lower radiator hose.

Edit: There are more rubber hoses on this engine than I've seen on any other engine

I see this hose on my 2012 Jeep. Can’t really see the firewall side. Everything is jammed in there.

Ram hoses are probably different

You shouldn’t actually lose that much. I only lost a few tablespoons, so I topped it off with distilled water.

 

[vinnieloo]

My coolant is at the "min" level on the dipstick. Thought about adding more.
