Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1047137 Coolant Tube Relocation Kit is a required installation component for 2003–2005 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins automatic transmission trucks equipped with a BD Diesel Howler turbocharger. This kit repositions the factory coolant tube to provide the necessary clearance between the engine and turbocharger compressor housing.
During Howler turbo installation on automatic-equipped trucks, the OEM coolant tube interferes with the turbocharger. This relocation kit resolves that issue by safely rerouting the tube while maintaining proper coolant flow. Precision-formed components ensure a clean, leak-free installation and proper turbo clearance without modification to the turbo or engine block.
