Probably for circulating the coolant to the heater lines/core for the rear cabin.

Yeah... this is the rear assembly. The red circle was pointing out a leak in the line for this particular unit. That's probably the core right where the line attaches.

Yes, durango rear heat has it's own heater core and a small pump to send hot coolant to it.
