Thanks. You are on the right track. I need to shrink the file size of my photos to post. The current radiator hose is a 6 inch long rubber elbow with a 2 inch outer diameter 1.5. Inch inner diameter with 1/4 inch wall thickness. The side of the serpentine belt cuts through it like a steak knife over time. It cuts in a lower part of the elbow so your clamp wouldn’t quite be in the right place. Like you, suggested replacing the middle part of the hose with a 1/16 stainless steel mandible elbow. The inner diameter would be the same for flow, higher temperature resistance than the rubber and would pick up 3/16th of clearance which would probably solve the issue. Maybe Thor can get to the same place with a 1 piece molded 1/16th plastic hose. Dodge/Ram said that Thor modified the Serpentine Belt and the Radiator Hose so it is their issue not Dodge/Ram.
