1994 Dodge Truck bypass hose off of waterpump

Hello,

What size engine do you have?

Sean

318

The bypass hose goes under the compressor to the engine, its a pain to change! But its possible. Is it leaking? You basically have to pull the hose off, and put the clamp in the middle of the new hose on installation. Then move the clamp up the hose after it has mated.

Sean

Yes its leaking! When its hot it it pours. Do I need to raise the a/c compressor to do this? Also can I do it without loosing Freon?

Okay! Just checking! You shouldn't have to removed the compressor.

Is it common for this hose to go? And what does it do?

You hear more about them because of the pain they are but I wouldn't say they go out more. I remembered after the last response, you can pull the compressor off, it should be if I remember 4 bolts without draining it. Also I think there is a bracket too.

It basically goes to the block as a "by pass" around the water pump. This ensures the water pressure the equalize when the thermostat open/closes.

If you need anything else, let me know

Sean

Yall are great. Compressor alternator and then the bracket. But it only took me 2 hours. Thank you so much! Payday I will send in a few bucks!

Thanks, sounds good!

Same 94 dodge pick up 318, when I went to start it it clicks 1 time and keeps doing it 1 time til it starts, is it the starter or the starter relay?

I would check the relay and then the starter solenoid.
