Gates 05-10 Cadillac STS V-8 4.6L Rad. To Throttle Body To Reservoir Molded Coolant Hose

When you're working on your 2004-2009 Cadillac SRX, especially the V-8 4.6L engine, you'll find this Gates molded coolant hose in the box. This specific hose is designed to connect your radiator to the throttle body and then to the coolant reservoir, playing a key role in keeping your engine at the right temperature. A cracked or leaking hose here can lead to overheating, so having a well-made replacement is important for reliable operation.

Gates uses a strong, heat-resistant rubber compound for this hose, built to withstand the constant cycles of hot coolant flowing through it. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force a universal hose. This direct-fit design helps ensure there are no kinks or stress points that could lead to premature failure down the road. It's a solid option for replacing a worn-out original hose and getting your SRX back to running cool.
