Default 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan trying to find overflow hose from Radiator to coolant tank

Just found out that the overflow hose is no longer available from the radiator to the coolant tank, from Dodge. Does anyone know where to find? Mine has some wear spots from rubbing. It's not leaking yet. Taped up, but would like to replace. I was thinking about talking to some radiator shop?

I think it might be 3/8 inch ID?

Thanks

Default Just found at Oreillys or Autozone

Prestone RT0308 3/8 ID. Only 2 ft, but can use barbed fitting to extend to 4ft. Should work. Autozone $2, Oreillys $4 but Oreillys with match prices on same items.

Default Update on parts

Installed Bosch 97218 water pump from Amazon, two came in defective, one had the impeller cocked, the other one pump housing bent from shipping. Finally the third one okay. Here's a tip, lightly glue in the gasket to hold it in place. Torque bolts to 105 inlbs. Also install Zerex G05 antifreeze for my car. Found radiator overflow hose from Prestone at Autozone, not available from dealer anymore. Need qty 2 $1.99, also need brass or plastic barbed fitting to joint the two hoses. Installed new radiator. Last installed new Radiator fans from Amazon TYC 600390 and 610390. New lower hose and Stant thermostat 14789 and Felpro thermostat gasket 35651.

Thanks George, just didn't need that much. The hose is 3 1/2 ft long.
