Description
The Mishimoto MMHOSE-RAM-98DRD is a purpose-built silicone coolant hose kit engineered specifically for the Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins, replacing the factory rubber hoses with a set built to handle serious heat and pressure. Molded in red, this Cooling category kit is constructed from a combination of high-grade silicone and four layers of heat-resistant embedded fibers, giving it a distinct edge over the OEM rubber it replaces.
Mishimoto designed this silicone coolant hose kit to deliver superior reliability, durability, and performance for owners looking to get the absolute most out of their 5.9L Cummins cooling system. The added layers of embedded fiber reinforcement help the hoses tolerate increased pressure while resisting the heat cycling that causes factory rubber hoses to crack, soften, and fail over time. Because the kit retains perfect factory fitment, installation follows the same routing as the stock hoses, so there’s no cutting, splicing, or guesswork involved in bolting this Mishimoto cooling upgrade into place. It’s a Specific-fit, Performance-grade solution rather than a universal hose, meaning it was engineered around the exact geometry of this application rather than trimmed to fit.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto silicone coolant hose kit is built specifically for the Dodge Ram truck line powered by the 5.9L Cummins. It covers the 1998–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Base and Custom trims, the 1998 Ram 2500 Limited and Lujo, and the 1999–2002 Ram 2500 SLT. On the heavier-duty side, it fits the 1998–2002 Ram 3500 Base and Custom trims as well as the 1999 Ram 3500 SLT. If your truck falls within these model years and trims, this hose kit is engineered to be a direct, factory-fit replacement.
