I'm getting ready to change out the 3-4 inch long piece of hose that connects the turbo oil drain tube to the engine block. Obviously you have to remove the oil filter to gain access. It appears to me that a person would have to pull out the piece that is pushed into the block or remove the drain pipe from the rear of the turbo in order to remove the hose. I called my buddy at a local Dodge dealership and the piece of hose sells for $41.00 retail. I can get the part at wholesale. He also told me there is an o ring on the piece of metal tube that's in the block. Also, if you remove the drain tube from the turbo you have to have a replacement gasket. I'm trying to decide which would be the better way so I don't have to spend anymore than necessary on parts. I'm hoping that someone on DTR has replaced this hose and can give me some pointers.

 

Whatever you loosen needs a new seal. The hose is special, hench the high price.

 

for the kind of money we're talking about here i'd stick with the OEM parts. just my .02 worth.

 

I dont remember what it looks like, but in most turbo applications the drain hose is a metal spout stuck in the block, a metal tube coming off the turbo, and a silicone hose in between the two.

Most just replace the hose itself with a new chunk of silicone. Cut it off and stick a new piece in and youre in businses. No exceptions on the material.

I do not remember how the hose is clamped on these engines though.. so that might be a problem.. its low enough pressure that worm gear clamps are fine, but i dont remember if the stock hose has a crimp style holding it on or not.

 

since there is no real room, you may have to pull the ex. manifold to get room to get new hose on. Let us know how it goes, cause mine has a hole in it from a screwdriver. Long story.

 

it's a easy fix. you will have to remove the tube from the turbo. the one in the block is actually driven in very tight. You can get a piece of 3/4 silicone hose from napa or a heavy truck parts dealer for around $7 a foot. Alot cheaper than 41. it may be blue but it is the same stuff we use on heavy equip and trucks for the oil drain.

 

I thought that I would resurrect this thread since I finally got around to installing the drain pipe hose. First of all, the hose, p/n 5086952AA was rather expensive. It listed for $44.46 and I paid 29.95. The hose is silicone I’m sure. I also bought a gasket for the drain pipe where it connects to the turbo. The p/n for this is 5003332AC and it listed for $3.85 and cost me $1.27. I get the reduced price because one of the parts guys is a friend.

You have to remove the air filter housing tube and the oil filter to gain access to the drain pipe hose connection. The hose is about 4 inches long. On my truck, the drain pipe is in two pieces. The longer piece extends from the turbo – it joins a shorter piece, via the hose connection, which is pressed into the block. The space between the two pipes is about 2 inches or so. I had to cut the old hose off both pieces of pipe in order to remove it. You have to remove the pipe at the turbo or pull the pressed piece out of the block in order to put the new hose on. I chose to remove the piece at the turbo and that’s why I bought the gasket. It was a bit hard removing the old gasket material from both the pipe and the turbo connection. Since I did not remove the turbo itself, I had to use a mirror to see underneath where the pipe connected since I was looking straight down.

I used a 10mm wrench to remove the two bolts at the turbo connection. The gasket comes with one side a bit sticky. I pressed that side to the flange on the pipe but it still tried to come off. The two bolts would not stay in the holes even through the gasket. So be careful that you don’t drop one somewhere you can’t find it. I finally managed to get the two bolts into the turbo connection holes. I used a ¼” drive socket and ratchet to snug them down.
