This is definitely not a completely sure way of finding if the hose rubbing trouble has been fixed, you just have to look. When I had my ‘04 NA there was a Chrysler bulletin posted on this forum warning of this trouble. Sure enough my ‘04 was rubbing, the solution was to loosen the hose clamp and turn the hose away from the shroud, a five minute job.
My hose just showed a very small abrasion mark.
When I got the six I checked and it was OK.
The clip breaks easily, ask me how I know
and I obtained mine from NWs.
I’ll see if I can find when the hose bulletin was first mentioned on this forum.
Edit
This problem was first mentioned by mightyjlr on 04-29-2004, the bulletin from Chrysler had been put out on 04-22-2004.
