Gates 00-04 Dodge Dakota V-8 4.7L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

When you open the hood of your 2000-2004 Dodge Dakota with the 4.7L V8 engine, you'll see this upper molded coolant hose connecting your radiator to the engine. This is the hose that carries the hot coolant from the engine to the radiator to be cooled, and then back again. If yours is cracked, swollen, or leaking, it's time for a replacement to keep your engine from overheating.

This hose from Gates is built to match the original equipment specifications for your Dakota. It's molded to the exact shape needed, so it fits right without any fuss. Gates uses strong, durable materials that can handle the heat and pressure cycles your cooling system goes through day after day. Replacing a coolant hose is a pretty straightforward job, usually just requiring some basic hand tools and a drain pan for the coolant.

It's always a good idea to check your other coolant hoses while you're in there, especially the lower radiator hose, to see if they're showing signs of wear. Having a new, reliable upper hose ensures your cooling system can do its job effectively.
