What is the main purpose of the upper radiator hose?

The upper radiator hose carries hot coolant from the engine's thermostat housing to the top of the radiator. It's a critical part of the system that helps dissipate heat and keep your engine from overheating.

Does this hose come with clamps?

This Gates coolant hose is sold individually and does not include hose clamps. You will need to reuse your existing clamps or purchase new ones separately.

How do I know if my upper radiator hose needs replacing?

Signs of a failing upper radiator hose include visible cracks, swelling, or a mushy feel. You might also notice coolant leaks around the hose connections or a persistent sweet smell of coolant.
