take off the offending hose........go to your local factors and find a hose that will do the job.

not ideal but i'm a wrangler driver.

i'd say look on the teamcherokee web site and order from there if you can wait for the delivery. the price is worth the wait.

copied and pasted from the site

This is a New upper radiator hose for a 1994-1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L with A/C. Don't forget to check the other heater hoses.

Nip down to your local plumbing or electrical supplies and ask for some 'Self Vulcanising Tape', bloody brilliant stuff if you're in a pinch.
Take off the old hose, clean it up really well, it must be grease free & that means finger prints too. Then wrap the tape round the hose as per the instructions and Bobs your uncle. As long as you dont expect it to last the Paris Dakar rally, you should be okay. :?:
