Gates 07-12 Chevrolet Colorado 4-Cyl. 2.9L Upper Molded Coolant Hose

This Gates molded coolant hose is built specifically for the 2.9L 4-cylinder engine found in 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and 2004-2012 GMC Canyon models, as well as the 2006 Isuzu i-280 and 2007-2008 Isuzu i-290. It replaces the original upper radiator hose, which is crucial for circulating coolant from the engine to the radiator to keep your engine from overheating. Over time, rubber hoses can become brittle, crack, or swell, leading to leaks and potential engine damage, so replacing a worn hose is a key part of routine maintenance.

Gates uses a heat-resistant EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressure found in your cooling system. The molded shape ensures it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force the hose. This direct-fit design means it connects securely to the radiator and the engine's water outlet, helping to prevent coolant leaks and maintain optimal engine temperature.
