Alex - that's the Champion radiator I used. CC1643

I've been very happy with it - but one word of caution -

The inlet and outlet diameters are the reverse of the 6.1 G3 Hemi inlet outlet. (Not sure about the 5.7)

So you end up with 1.75 going to 1.5, and 1.5 going to 1.75

I ended up using two universal Gates reduction hoses 1.75 - 1.5 and another reversed the other way.

The factory hoses work fine.
My radiator is 1.5" upper, 1.75" lower (same as champion I believe)
Engine side is 1.75" upper, 1.625" lower

Copy and paste from my post on FABO:

Upper radiator hose for passenger side neck:
Dayco C72282 - ID of 1.44 and 1.72 (for a 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7 hemi)
Gates 22940 - ID of 1.44 and 1.75

Lower radiator hose for passenger side neck:
Dayco E72225 - ID of 1.59 and 1.78 (for a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 )
Gates 23036: 20.6" length, 1.63" ID, 1.75" ID

Upper radiator hose for drivers side neck:
?? - Jeep SRT8 upper radiator hose - appears to be 1.5" radiator neck, 1.75" water pump neck
Goodyear 62968

Lower radiator hose for drivers side neck:
Dayco E72281 - 1.44 & 1.66 ID (I measured this one in the store- the water pump side was ~1.5" I think, and the radiator side was smaller) - this is for a 5.7 dodge charger
*I think a SRT8 lower radiator hose would have a larger hose ID for the radiator side. I don't know, as autozone and Rock Auto both do not have hoses for the SRT8 cars, period. Looks like you'll have to go to the dealer.]
