Default hoses in general 2002 sxt

2002 sxt, has right around 70k. Started noticing lately a lot of the hoses are dry rotting. I just replaced the vacuum hoses to the charcoal canister. Today I noticed the hose from the breather is also cracked horribly. Is there somewhere I can buy all these hoses in a package?

dont know of a kit. but read the printing on the O.E.M. hose to get the true dia. chrysler has been known to use odd dia hoses. any good parts house will have the right hoses. you may have to go to a chrysler dealer. helpful hint: hoses are sized on the I.D. tubing is sized on O.D. be they steel or flexible. i dont like nilyon tubing it tends to crack.

Best is go spend an hour or more at the auto parts store and replace them as you go just bring a knife to cut the hose.

Remember to get the correct kind of tubing for the job some are specific in what kind of hose is needed for the job it does and most need to withstand oil and gas.

Remember some hoses are thin and some are thick each can withstand different heat and cold so get the correct hose for its job.

If not sure ask the store for advise as to the proper hose
